James Harden reminds me of Vince Carter's last year in Toronto until he was finally traded I'm guessing around the 20 game mark.

In those final 20 games, Vince announced he would no longer dunk anymore because he did not feel support from people.  He also did not like a late game play call, so before the play he just stated the play to the other team before the play started.   There were other things as well.

And team management felt the pain as well, and inside the room crap made it's way out, or was overemphasized.    Similar things seem to be happening in Houston, where Harden is making people so angry, that management is leaking stuff (or allowing broadcasters) to make snide comments about him.

Vince wanted out and it probably hurt his value as time went on. -- its a gamble when you decide to keep these guys a bit longer after they ask to be traded.   Sometimes you will get some leverage back as teams bid against each other -- and at other times you just depress their trade value.
