The NBA trade rumors involving  James Harden can finally come to a close, as the Houston Rockets guard is heading to the Brooklyn Nets in a four-team deal. The Cleveland Cavaliers received Jarrett Allen and Taurean Prince from Brooklyn, while Victor Oladipo was traded to Houston for Caris LeVert who is now on the Indiana Pacers, according to ESPN.

This news took the league by storm as players such as Bradley Beal, Donovan Mitchell, CJ McCollum, Paul Pierce and Jared Dudley all reacted to the trade:

Those who thought the idea of LeBron James and Anthony Davis playing for the Lakers–as well as Kawhi Leonard and Paul George pairing up–was jaw-dropping are in for a surprise.

Kevin Durant and James Harden have proven time and time again that they're offensive play-making abilities are unguardable, having career averages of 27.0 and 25.2 points a game, respectively. Along with Kyrie Irving's court vision and ability to finish in the paint, the Nets will be the favorite to go all the way.

However, before anyone can think about the Nets winning a championship, team chemistry must be built between these superstars in order for them to play cohesively. They must take each game one at a time and gradually establish themselves as the team to beat in the NBA.
