There are a number of reports circulating as the offseason prepares to hit its climax. James Harden has apparently made it known to his inner circle of his intriguing desire to possibly reunite with Kevin Durant in Brooklyn alongside Kyrie Irving.
However, it appears that there is quite a bit of headway to be made for such a deal to actually manifest, according to SNY's Ian Begley.
“One possible destination Harden could land is in Brooklyn with the Nets,” wrote Begley. “But according to SNY sources, the support for such a trade wasn't universal. People around Harden contacted some Nets players to discuss the possibility of the perennial All-Star joining the team, per SNY sources. Some were supportive, but not all players contacted about a potential Harden-to-Brooklyn deal were in favor of it, sources said.”
It was recently reported that Durant had been conducting some behind-the-scenes maneuvering in order to land Harden in Brooklyn, but it seems that the majority of the Nets' supporting cast would rather do without Harden's services on a team that already possess both Durant and Irving, two players that can let their egos control them at times.
The Nets were one team that was made a priority by Harden in the event that the Rockets opted to move on from the former MVP before the 2020-21 season got underway. The Rockets in times since have denied any reports that their pushing for a Harden trade around the league and plan to “run it back” with him next season instead.
