It's been nine years since James Harden was traded from Oklahoma City to Houston, but some Thunder fans are apparently still bothered by his exit.

Harden was booed during the Brooklyn Nets' 120-96 win over the Thunder on Sunday and told reporters afterward that he didn't understand why.

"I don't know. It wasn't my fault," Harden said, according to ClutchPoints' Dave Early. "So I don't know. I don't really care, honestly."

Kevin Durant, who played with Harden in Oklahoma City and is now teammates with him on the Nets, was also greeted with boos from Thunder fans Sunday.

Harden was traded to the Rockets in October 2012 after failing to agree on a contract extension with Oklahoma City. Negotiations between the two sides reportedly came down to a difference of $4.5 million.
