The NBA community is very active now that the offseason finally started. It’s trade season and everybody has something to say about the rumors and potential trades that could happen in the next hours and days. The hottest topics in the league right now is James Harden and his future after he requested a trade from the Houston Rockets. Houston can’t do anything to retain him but they want something big in return for the 2018 NBA MVP.
Harden has expressed his desire to go play in the Nets alongside Kevin Durant but the Rockets will only agree to that move if the Nets ship Kyrie Irving to Houston. That is a huge move for both teams but if the Nets manage to convince the Rockets to deal Harden without losing Irving or Durant, Brooklyn would have a terrific Big 3. NBA fans are well aware of that and the narratives that they carry at this point of their career.

One NBA fan sparked the debate on Twitter when he pointed out all the things said about Irving, Harden, and Durant over the past couple of years, making it clear that they don’t want to hear any complaints about this potential team.
Notice how no one wants to play with LeBron .. Harden, Ibaka .. all these guys wanna go play with Durant because they know the toxicity of being on a LeBron team

Kyrie – “can’t win without Bron”
Can't get Lebron so gets the 2nd best player in the league
Harden – “huge playoff choker”
as the first option
KD – “needs 73-9 team to win”
Can't get Steph and Klay so he get's Kyrie and Harden
none of these things are really disproven with BKN

Dude this team will not change any of those perceptions. Still would be all of that and add “had to get harden to win a chip” and “had to join kd and kyrie to win a chip”

U won’t cuz they won’t win anything lmao. Roster will be completely void outside of them. Bucks stacked up so they might not even ever see the Lakers. Talented af but ask yourself if u think these guys will play well together. Somebodies numbers will be sacrificed.

I’m not whining about this trio at all but keep in mind for legacy sake that they needed to all band together but also harden hasn’t even happened yet

I don’t think this chemistry will work. If I was Brooklyn I’d rather get a dominant big man to complement KD and Kyrie. Adding another scorer will only limit KD and Kyries production

Not a single leader in the bunch and all of them are deluded enough to think they should be the coach, rather than Steve Nash. I honestly hope this happens to I can watch the clown show unfold

Of course, fans reacted, others agreeing with this person, others responding to what he said and others reminding them that NBA Twitter will always find a way to complain about anything.
This is not done yet but NBA fans are expecting to see what is going to happen with Harden. He still has other options like the Philadelphia 76ers and before their two blockbuster trades, the Milwaukee Bucks. We are entering the second day of the offseason and we’ll probably hear a lot about Harden and his team.
