Nets lost their mind on this because they are chasing a championship, they forget that those three players are gonna have a hard time adjusting, they are all want to have their ball in hand, that's sometimes the issue with star players they don't want to outlast because they need attention, if the two of them won't adjust and give in to one star player I'll bet this its gonna be the worse big three ever especially Irving want to be the guy same with durant.

We will know this after 5 games those three playings together as a starter. But with Kyrie Irving's absence, I think we won't see those three playings together anytime soon. But if James Harden will change his play after him being traded to Brooklyn, this team has some potential to be a top contender in the playoffs.

If I was the Nets, I would play heavy load management to ensure that they are hardly ever on the court together.  Set them 3 feet apart from each other.  That way it might work out.

Yeah but come playoff time you aren't going to sit Durant 20 minutes a game just so he isn't on the court with Harden or kyrie.  In season yeah they can load manage but then in the playoffs what?they should ease through most of the east anyway.  But this seems patchwork at best.  Only saving grace is Durant is so dam good.  He can make it work by himself

As a Lakers fan, love the fact Harden went to the Nets.  They are done now, implode in the first round. 
They are almost at the bottom, I'm hoping Rockets would still survive even if Harden will be traded with the Nets. This would make the Nets are more better team but I don't think it will make the Rockets sink. Rockets have John Wall and they won without Harden, so we can still rely on this team, at least no expectation but they might surprise us.

Even if no harden in their line up still the players they got is strong and the only thing the coaching staff do now is to create a chemistry since by now there's no toxicity will happen in their locker room if harden will successfully departed on nets. I wonder how nets deal with kyrie and harden while we know this two stars are so childish  Cheesy.

Completely agree, that's why they are going to implode every year.  I mean it could work if the attitudes are right, but with Kyrie and Harden - you might as well forget it.  I have followed Durant since he was in college, great player - but not the leader that can keep these two in check.  It's just a recipe for disaster.  I wonder if any of the books are going to put up odds on which player from the Nets are going to get traded first - Kyrie -200, Harden -120, Durant +200?

Nets gutted for the next 7 years.  Never farm the next decade out.  Good bad or indifferent they are stuck with those 3, they won't have any cap space and lost 3 first round picks and 4 first round pick swaps from 2021-2027.  I never like those kind of trades.  They were fine without Harden, they don't need a ball hole on their team they were just fine with all of their picks going forward.

That deal usually really happens if they are acquiring a known player that seems to be a superstar for them. We'll see how this new roster of Nets became stronger after the trade.
This is now giving a huge expectation for most of the Nets fans and I think there will be additional of them since this trade has been done.  Tongue

Is nobody gonna talk about the fact LeBron was bet his 3 pointer wasn’t going to go in mid-shot, then turned around and said, “bet” as it went in? Legendary... He was having way too much fun against the Rockets yesterday.

Everyone is just hooked on James Harden's love to Brooklyn. LeBron did put on a show. He was on fire yesterday . I thought that 3-pointer won't go in but it did, in style. The commentator even had to say he has never seen LeBron pull such a move before. Last night, he wasn't just playing basketball but he was having so much while at it.

I just love his teammates reaction, Lebron having fun, he has become Curry in that night. I like to see more of that on him, of course in a condition that he will only do that when they are having a comfortable lead.

"Reporting with @RamonaShelburne
: Brooklyn is acquiring Houston’s James Harden in a blockbuster deal, sources tell ESPN."
source: https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1349463753465720836

And the rumor now become true, James Harden was traded to Brooklyn Nets.

What a turnout. But it costs Nets exchanging their good role players which I even considered the future of the Nets franchise, Caris LeVert, Jarrett Allen, and Taurean Prince. Want to see badly now where the Nets will end up this season.

On the other hand, I wonder what's the reaction of Giannis here. The competition in the East now become tough and his target reaching the Finals become more pain their ass.

Woah! That's one hell of a deal nd probably the only aspect of the game which I prefer to football (No player is bigger than any team), all the Nets needs to do is to keep them fit anyways... As morvillz7z stated, I think the deal is a bit costly for the Nets, if you ask me.

They better win a championship this season, otherwise they will not be able to do it anymore. Chemistry is the most important, and I don't know if these 3 stars would properly blend when they are coming from different teams where they are the main man. Here, they need to share consistently not that they usually do when they were still in their previous teams.

I don't think anyone wants Harden in Houston anymore.  His toxicity would go great in New Jersey with Kyrie though.  They should make it happen and give us a finals to remember.

Ask and you shall receive! LOL

This is totally lame that Harden is getting what he wants, but it seems like a best for all involved scenario.  One thing is for certain, the Nets just became the heavy favorites in the East and I'll definitely be watching some of their games this year.  Hopefully we get the LeBron vs Kyrie Finals matchup we've so desperately craved since Kyrie left Cleveland.

What’s everyone’s preferred methods for watching all these games? I see NBATV, league pass, Hulu, TNT, etc. all offering some sort of way to watch games, but it seems insane to pay for all of these different services. Anyone have any thoughts on the best way to watch the most NBA games without breaking the bank?

https://nbabite.com/

This is a new site for me, I haven't visit this site before, I hope this one would play the live streaming smoothly.

Thank you for sharing @Febo .. I'm using crackstream actually.

I watch them there all this season. There are 20+ different streams fro every game so if for some reason one goes down you just open other. But they are very stable. It is good to have some adblocker for some streams or you get annoyed when close all advert popups when you open the stream. Smiley

"The Rockets are sifting through finalists — Nets and 76ers — for a James Harden deal that could culminate quickly, with Brooklyn preparing an offer of all its future first-round picks and pick swaps, per sources."
source: https://twitter.com/shamscharania/status/1349425490269007875

I think James Harden has already played his last game with Houston Rockets.  As per multiple reports, a trade with either Philly or Brooklyn could happen very soon, within days if not hours. Harden wants out, Rockets players not holding back after his comments last night, things just won't work out. Rockets have to decide which trade package works best for them and take the deal, be done with it...enough with the drama.


edit; it's a fact  Cheesy

This was a really fun Bron coming back. Their game against the Rockets made it also clear that Harden wanted out of Houston maybe because he also thinks something is wrong with the team. Its also notable that LeBron is somehow racking his stats this past few games compared to his earlier games this season and its still clear that Lakers can win another Chip.

Ya, Harden and Wall's press conferences after the game were pretty wild.  The last time I've seen a teammate superstar bash another superstar was Kobe getting on Shaquille for being out of shape.  Pretty crazy to see.  If I was John Wall I'd be rightfully pissed though.  I don't think anyone wants Harden in Houston anymore.  His toxicity would go great in New Jersey with Kyrie though.  They should make it happen and give us a finals to remember.

The scene was funny while at the same time, so amusing.

The Lakers team is really having fun and that's what we called good chemistry.

Maybe more funny if the shot didn't go in.  Cheesy
