Lamar Odom and Khloé Kardashian rumors: James Harden pressuring Kardashian to divorce ex-NBA cager?

James Harden has had enough of Khloé Kardashian's plans and wants to test if she truly has intentions to divorce Lamar Odom. And the thing that can convince the National Basketball Association (NBA) star the most is for Kardashian to refile for divorce.

The current setup feels pretty much awkward for many people — Harden included. Life & Style reports that the Houston Rockets star is turning up the heat on Kardashian and that he is at odds with the current situation.

Odom was released from the hospital last Jan. 8 and was moved to a private facility near the Kardashian home.

The report also reveals that Harden and Kardashian were together in Los Angeles when the Rockets played the Clippers recently; but the two spent more time debating about Khloe's situation with Lamar than enjoying each other's company.

Right now, it seems Kardashian is torn on what to do. She loves Harden but is having second thoughts on pushing through with the divorce for now given Odom's state.

Harden was recently spotted outside a strip club and also spotted with an alleged friend at the Ace of Diamonds in the wee hours. Topping it all off is that Harden reportedly hosted women at a hotel, sending indications that the bearded one may be partying as a bachelor (which he technically is) or trying to get Kardashian's attention with his latest antics.

Somehow, his ploy seems to be working, with Kardashian using Instagram as an outlet to reveal how she truly feels.

Kardashian should have been aware that it would come to this point, but the real question is whether Harden has the right to demand these things. The NBA star knew what he was getting himself into and would have perhaps been better off taking the initiative and walking away from someone who is still technically married.

It is believed that these distractions are one of the reasons why Harden has been inconsistent in the NBA lately.
