James Harden gets the trade and ruined the Clippers [EN/PT-BR]
English Version
Individually, James Harden is one of the most talented point guards in the NBA. Collectively, he is known for spending too much time on the ball and forcing changes when he is unhappy with the teams he plays for.
After being chosen as the best sixth man for the Oklahoma City Thunder, Harden became the main player for the Houston Rockets, collecting individual records, but leading the team to lose games in a row and miss out on the playoffs.
When he arrived at the Brooklyn Nets, expectations were high for him to reunite with Kevin Durant, his former teammate at the Oklahoma City Thunder, and Kyrie Irving, another extremely talented point guard, but the team of stars failed to reach the NBA Finals and Harden forced another trade to the Philadelphia 76ers.
In Philadelphia, Harden would join none other than Joel Embiid, one of the best centers today and one of the most competitive players in the league. He even accepted a smaller contract in exchange for reinforcements for the team, but everything ended up being in vain and the relationship with the team soured.
After breaking up with the manager who had taken him to Philadelphia, Harden demanded to be traded to the Los Angeles Clippers where he joins another former teammate from the Oklahoma City Thunder. Now, playing with Russell Westbrook, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the point guard has one of the most talented teams to play on.
However, individual talent does not mean that the team will have good results as each person needs to perform their role in both attack and defense, which is not an attribute in which James Harden stands out.
If before Harden's hiring, the Los Angeles Clippers were one of the candidates to be one of the most difficult teams to face during the season, now the team has lost even to the weakest teams, which is an indication that the problem performance of the teams where Harden plays is precisely at his own game.
Thank you very much for reading and see you next time!

Individualmente, James Harden é um dos armadores mais talentosos da NBA. Coletivamente, é conhecido por ficar tempo demais com a bola e por forçar trocas quando está insatisfeito nos times em que atua.
Depois de ter sido escolhido o melhor sexto homem atuando pelo Oklahoma City Thunder, Harden se tornou o principal jogador do Houston Rockets, colecionando recordes individuais, mas levando a equipe a perder partidas em sequência e ficar de fora dos playoffs.
Quando chegou ao Brooklyn Nets, a expectativa era grande pela reunião com Kevin Durant, seu antigo companheiro no Oklahoma City Thunder, e Kyrie Irving, outro armador extremamente talentoso, mas o time de estrelas falhou em chegar às finais da NBA e Harden forçou mais um troca para o Philadelphia 76ers.
Em Philadelphia, Harden se juntaria a nada mais, nada menos, do que Joel Embiid, um dos melhores pivôs da atualidade e um dos jogadores mais competitivos da liga. Chegou a aceitar um contrato menor em troca de reforços para a equipe, mas tudo acabou sendo em vão e a relação com o time azedou.
Depois de romper com o dirigente que o havia levado à Philadelphia, Harden exigiu ser trocado para o Los Angeles Clippers onde se junta a outro ex-colega do Oklahoma City Thunder. Agora, jogando com Russell Westbrook, Kawhi Leonard e Paul George, o armador tem um dos times mais talentosos para jogar.
No entanto, talento individual não quer dizer que o time terá bons resultados já que cada um precisa exercer a sua função tanto no ataque quanto na defesa, que não é um atributo em que James Harden se destaca.
Se antes da contratação de Harden, o Los Angeles Clippers era um dos candidatos a ser um dos times mais difíceis de enfrentar durante a temporada, agora o time tem perdido até mesmo para as equipes mais fracas, o que é um indício de que o problema de rendimento das equipes onde Harden atua esteja justamente em seu próprio jogo.

I have no problem when a player forces a transfer to another team. But once it happens again and again - just like in the case of Harden - then the player is the problem.
Harden's talent will always draw admirers towards him, but his attitude is becoming a serious problem.
