Seeing James Harden do everything to leave Brooklyn before the deadline, we understood that the relations between the 2018 MVP and his partners were not necessarily in good shape, especially with Kyrie Irving. The latter was probably a little too original for Harden, who was said to be hallucinated by the privileges enjoyed by his teammate and by his customs. Obviously, Harden was not particularly appreciated in the locker room either …
To believe journalist Anthony Puccio, the rest of the group did not carry – or no longer – James Harden in their hearts, in particular because of his tendency not to give everything in difficulty. According to Puccio, most of the “survivors” of the trade deadline do not hide their animosity towards their ex-teammate when they express themselves, off, with members of the staff or the press.
For the first game of Seth Curry, the “replacement” of James Harden on the numerical level, the atmosphere was good and the Nets won after 11 consecutive defeats. The Bearded One’s presence had become heavy since he had made known his wish to be transferred to Philadelphia.
Despite his exceptional level and consistency since the beginning of his career or almost, Harden continues to have this annoying tendency to run away and scare away. His collaboration with Joel Embiid, a slightly more vocal and demonstrative leader than Kevin Durant, will speak volumes about his ability to adapt.
