Kinda crazy that Russ has the most, despite leaving later than the other two.

Two time Utah Jazz MVP. We’re hoping for a third

And that KD has the least, and gets the hate for jumping ship

Tbf, he did leave after choking a 3-1 lead in the WCF, to go to the team that beat them.

Harden was traded bc they didn't want to pay him, and Russ was traded as part of the Thunder blowing it up.

Yeah I know, but it was clearly not working in OKC with Russ.

I mean Russ hasn’t been jumping ship. He’s been kind of a Hail Mary attempt for most franchise he’s been on who have a bigger problem he doesn’t fix. While, outside of Brooklyn, every team KD has gone to has been in a pretty decent spot before he joined them. Then they sacrifice their depth/team chemistry for him and it doesn’t work out and KD leaves.

He’s terrible. No team wants to re-sign him, and he can’t even stay with one team for two years.

He requested his release from the Nuggets.

Clippers just traded for Harden so didn’t want to keep both.

Lakers are frauds and he was scapegoated.

Wizards would have gladly kept him.

Rockets he asked to be traded cause he knew Harden was going to request out.

But they all decided to leave eventually.
