El next thursday february 10 closes the nba market and many teams are pulling their strings in recent days to try to improve their squads, cover their shortcomings or even remove players whose performance is not convincing in order to reduce salary mass and look for a replacement that can contribute more. In this situation, one of the bombings that can jump in the next five days (or in the next few hours) It will be the transfer of Ben Simmons to the Nets in exchange for James Harden.
A possible transfer that has already found its first obstacle to make it possible. A stone placed by Kevin Durant, who has already expressed his desire for ‘The Beard’ Harden to stay in Brooklyn to try to conquer the ring together. And so the journalist from ESPN Adrian Wojnarowski.
“They tell me that Durant thinks he can win multiple championships alongside Kyrie Irving and James Harden. That’s why he pushed so hard for Brooklyn to do that deal with Houston last year,” Woj said on NBA Countdown. “Durant also believes that Harden and the other pieces in Brooklyn will have to be as committed as he is.”
The ESPN journalist, one of the most authoritative voices in the NBA environment, has also assured that what was considered certain 24 hours ago – Harden’s departure to Philadelphia – is far from taking place: “Harden has told Durant and the Nets management that he wants to stay in Brooklyn and they have taken him at his word.”
