Ray Allen, a basketball player who ended his career four years ago, believes that it would be difficult for National Basketball Association (NBA) star James Harden to live with Brooklyn’s Nets lights Kevin Durant and Cairo Irving if the American really moves to this unit in the off-season.
Earlier, ESPN reported that the Nets had begun talks with the Houston Rockets about a possible acquisition of Harden. If in the past the American expressed his readiness to play in this unit in the future, now his thoughts have changed, says the Houston Chronicle. Harden is not only excited about the idea of joining Kevin Durant and Cairy Irving in Brooklyn’s Nets, but is also ready to leave the Rockets, the media writes.
“According to a source close to the situation, Harden wants to leave the Rockets,” writes Brian T. Smith, a journalist at Houston Chronicle. “He’s doing everything he can to encourage the Rockets to change him to Brooklyn.”
It was also reported that “Nets” is determined to get the Houston light, because the team is ready to include four players in the deal – Spencer Dinvidie, Caris Levert, Torin Prince and Jerett Allen.
Meanwhile, two-time NBA champion Allen believes that Harden’s move to the Nets is not a good idea. “If you look at Irving, then at Harden, if the deal really happens, and then at Durant, it will be extremely difficult for them to live together. Each of them is great as a personality, but on the field it can lead to problems that will ultimately affect their relationship, ”said the former basketball player, noting that it is not always easy for the stars to give up an individual game for team reasons.
Another important factor is that Harden, whose contract with the Rockets runs until 2023, refused to renew it with the option of becoming the first player in NBA history to earn $ 50 million. “His message is clear – change me to Brooklyn,” said ESPN journalist Adrian Vodnarovsky, who says the talks between the Rockets and the Nets don’t look like a coherent dialogue yet.
