James Harden got his wish. He's been pouting...complaining...and demanding for months to be traded to the Brooklyn Nets. He wanted to re-unite with Kevin Durant...he wanted the chance to play for a title contender.
James Harden now has that opportunity...but now the pressure is on. If Harden doesn't win an NBA title with the Nets...this is going to be viewed as a massive failure. Brooklyn mortgaged their future to acquire him from the Rockets...and now Harden's legacy is on the line.
We explain why the pairing of Harden and Kyrie Irving won't work. With Durant and Irving already being crowned NBA champions...if this doesn't result in a title in Brooklyn...the blame will fall on the shoulders of James Harden.
