DeMarcus Cousins is Done With James Harden
DeMarcus Cousins sound like he's finished with James Harden. The Houston Rockets center unloaded on his teammate Wednesday and made it sound like he doesn't want to play with Harden again.
Here's what Cousins said:
DeMarcus Cousins: "My interest is to play with John Wall, to be brutally honest. ...The (Harden) disrespect started way before. This isn't something that, you know, all of a sudden started last night. ...It's completely unfair to the rest of the guys in the locker room."

It appears Cousins is throwing Harden all the way under the bus. That said, it's not like the former MVP doesn't deserve it. He clearly didn't prepare for the season, he doesn't look like he's in shape, he blew off training camp, and has blown off practices. It's not surprising his teammates aren't happy with him.
Cousins claims that he went to Houston to join up with former Kentucky teammate John Wall. He's also claiming Harden's play isn't the only thing he's found disrespectful, which makes it seem like his preseason antics didn't go over well with the rest of the Rockets.
I can't be upset with Cousins taking aim at Harden. He's earned the scorn coming his direction.
