Source tweet w/Lewis providing the non clickbait version of KD's quote

Do you think there was anything you guys could have said or done differently to change Harden's mind and make him want to stay long term?

"No, no. I mean, when you look at it, try to look at it from his perspective. You look up, Ky’s not playing, and then I'm injured, he hasn't won a championship before.

So he's looking at it he’s 32 years old I guess, looking at himself, wanted to make a decision to get on a team that can get him to that: Contending, being one of the last teams standing. So you look at it from his perspective, you just say it is what it is. You can't really control how somebody feels when they're thinking like that. Hopefully he stays healthy and their team stays healthy, and we stay healthy, we have a great year they have a great year. We can just move on from this.”
