Brooklyn was his top choice, but Harden reportedly started adding more teams to that list, including the Philadelphia 76ers, Milwaukee Bucks, and Miami Heat, among others.</p><p>Those teams, however, quickly found that Houston’s asking price would be astronomical and not worth gutting their own championship-caliber rosters over.</p><p>The last straw came when <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsApp/status/1349209219929567235" rel="noopener">Harden took a jab</a> at his teammates in his postgame press conference on Tuesday and reiterated his desire to be traded from the Rockets.</p><p>“[We’re] just not good enough … I love this city and I’ve literally have done everything that I can.

Many, especially those in the NBA community, were disturbed by the rioters who marched to Capitol Hill to wreak havoc and destruction as they complained about a fraudulent election.</p><p>Violent, armed rioters were allowed by police to entire the House Chambers, where they stole items, disheveled offices, and caused waves of damage in the name of their president, who will be leaving the White House in 13 days. No National Guard was called upon and police didn’t begin to aggressively respond until far later in the day.</p><p>Meanwhile, millions around the country that protested the killings of unarmed Black men and women during the summer were met with swift responses from the National Guard and local law enforcement, each armed with riot gear to combat protestors. NBA players were among those involved in the summer protest. Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns, Sixers forward Tobias Harris, Pacers’ guard Malcolm Brodgon, Celtics guards Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart, Hawks guard Trae Young, Blazers center Enes Kanter, and Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson were not only all attendees, but also vocal leaders in the support of Black lives.</p><p>So while the Clippers’ win over the Warriors was fun, basketball couldn’t take centerstage for more than a few hours. In his postgame press conference, Paul George said seeing what happened in the United States was no surprise to him.</p><p>“I mean it comes as no surprise,” <a href="https://twitter.com/TomerAzarly/status/1347072319013801984" rel="noopener">George admitted</a>. “It’s two different worlds we live in and that was clear as day. The respect for colored people is — there is none. It’s just the times we live in. it’s very unfortunate. We just see people’s colors. It just goes to show why voting is so important. At the end of the day Trump is who we elected and who we put in office and you see what his belief is and you see what kind of person he is. That’s what it comes down to.</p><p>“He rallied his people and his people rallied behind him and just the society being, nothing was done about how they approached their protest. We tried to protest with peace and you know, we are looked down upon and we’re this and we’re that but we see how they protest. It’s unfortunate, but you know it’s an ongoing dialogue and ongoing conversations we’ve got to have with all races.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">"Nothing was done about how they approached their protest.

Both Booker and George continued yelling at one another, with Paul also getting in the mix.</p><p>For his part, CP3 said Tuesday those flare-ups are just part of the game:</p><blockquote>“It is what it is, man,” Paul said of the altercation, via <a href="https://twitter.com/GeraldBourguet/status/1346544927161741312">Gerald Bourguet of FanSided</a>. “We just keep playing and move on.”</blockquote><p>George had a little more to say on the matter after the Suns game and at the start of the week.</p><p>The multiple-time All-Star claimed opponents are coming after him following George’s struggles during the NBA restart:</p><blockquote>“You got to ask them,” George said of the incident, via <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30648194/la-clippers-paul-george-says-players-chirping-more-struggles-nba-bubble">Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.</a> “I was talking to the ref, CP jumped in and it escalated from there. Like I said, I’ve never had any words talking, there was never any altercation, there was always peace when I am on the floor, but for whatever reason, there’s a lot of chirping and people just living in the past.”</blockquote><p>Paul has never been afraid to mix things up. Booker, too, is a fierce competitor. It is what makes that duo such an intriguing pairing as the Suns strive for contention.</p><p>But Phoenix is not dwelling on the past, especially not after it has raced out to a 5-2 start to begin the new season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
