Harden to the Nets

Just came over my phone. Looks like a blockbuster.

I heard they were in the running.

I’m sure it’s nothing.

4 team deal. Levert heading to the Pacers. Rockets do end up with 3 number 1 ‘s I think. Bunch of guys trading places.

Its a good way to do a rebuild. The 3 1's all every two years. And what they got for Westbrook its a rebuild. It'd be funny if the Rockets won a title and Harden didn't.

It looks like they basically got the same number of first round picks that they gave up in other deals when they acquired all of the stars.

They have a 1st coming from Detroit, Portland and Washington too, but all are at least top 14 protected and it could be years until they get those picks.

I really don't like the way he forced their hand, but that's basketball. Watson is being a big baby too. He wants a say in who they hire as a GM??

Kyrie explains how he and Harden settled into roles with Nets.

"I just looked at him, and I said, 'You're the point guard, and I'm going to play shooting guard.' Lol.

I didn't want to start another thread about Harden. I never liked this guy and there is a reason that he moves around so much.

I just saw this quote...what a turd!

Harden, speaking at his introductory news conference in Los Angeles earlier Thursday, said he felt like he was on "a leash" playing with Philadelphia last season, adding, "I'm not a system player. I am a system."
