The drama continues to soar around James Harden and Russell Westbrook. Both men reportedly want out of the Houston Rockets franchise. The two men, who were both drafted by the Oklahoma City Thunder, are said to be looking to switch teams quickly, before the 2020-2021 NBA season begins in December.

Both Harden and Westbrook have allegedly asked for trades to different teams, but why? NBA insider Ric Bucher is making some big claims that include President Donald Trump. Bucher says that both basketball players have had it with the Houston organization, and one of the biggest reasons why include the owner Tilman Fertitta’s support of the Republican part and Trump. His support has reportedly created a bit rift through the team.
