CP3 is hardly the problem on that roster. Many thought, myself included, that OKC would be one of the worst in the west, they're currently tied for the 8th seed and are massively overperforming and its largely because CP3 is manning the offense. OKC is +8 with him in the court, and they're offense dies when he sits. Not to mention he singlehadedly won them a game by pointing out an obscure rule against the Wolves.

That's certainly one way to view CP3's tenure with the Rockets. Firstly, with CP3 the rockets came within a single game of beating the best team of all time. They were closer than any other team in the league to dethroning a healthy Warriors with KD. Had they not shit the bed in the last game and CP3 didn't get injured, the Rockets would've likely won the title (gross).
And secondly, CP3 is a known competitor. Look at the guys he was chastising. James Harden, a guy that is well known for his strip club antics and coming into training camp out of shape, and Deandre Jordan, a knucklehead to the highest extreme. CP3 wants to win, and when he sees people not matching his intensity he gets on their case, and can we really blame him for chewing out Deandre Jordan and James Harden?
