Harden dissatisfied with the Rockets and transferred
James Harden, who had requested the Rockets to trade, has finally been transferred. “The Athletic” reports that a huge trade between the four teams has been completed.
Harden will move to Nets, but the Pacers and Cavaliers will be involved. From the Nets, Carris Rubert will move to the Pacers, and Jarrett Allen and Taurean Prince will move to the Cavs. The Rockets get a ton of draft nominations, including Victor Oladipo, Dante Exam, Rodions Coolts, and Nets’ three first-round nominations.
Harden is in his ninth season at the Rockets, where he has grown to become the NBA’s leading scorer. He became the NBA top scorer three times and became an MVP in 2018. However, after the end of last season, the Rockets were asked to trade when GM and the head coach, who had been promoting self-centered team building, left the team one after another. He attended the party while he was late to join the team and was fined and quarantined for violating the health and safety protocol to prevent Coronavirus infection. After that, he participated in eight games, averaging 24.8 points, but after losing to the Lakers on January 12, he was dissatisfied with the team again.
The Rockets also traded Russell Westbrook before the opening, and Oladipo’s contract is limited to this season. This will steer the rudder to complete reconstruction. It can be said that it is Rafael Stone’s new GM’s major pattern that summarized Harden’s trade that was not completed without getting a decent reward before the opening with this content at this timing.
And in Nets, the amazing “Big 3” of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Harden was born. Still, how to put together a team with too strong personality is a difficult issue for head coach Steve Nash. Moreover, Irving and Harden are troublemakers due to their selfish behavior. With the release of major players such as rubato and Allen, Nets will be the focus of attention for a while as to how to build a new team from here.
