James Harden is doing everything he can to get traded out of Houston, including partying with Lil Baby instead of heading to the preseason.

Basketball player turned commentator Stephen Jackson ripped Harden for forcing the Rockets' hand.

Jackson believes Harden is looking for a similar situation to which he had under his the Rockets old coach Mike D'Antoni, who Jackson said never made Harden play defense.  Jackson also criticized Harden for screwing the Rockets' new coach, Stephen Silas.

"What type of dude is you? The Rockets finally get a young Black coach—a young Black coach get an opportunity—and you don't wanna show up to camp," he said. "You don't wanna play for him. How that look? And you wonder why every time a Black coach get a job, they put him in a bullsh*t situation.

Look what you doing... What a real one would do is go play for that Black coach and make him look good and build with John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins—some real ones," he added. "But obviously you wanna chase rappers around."
