The rumor James Harden in Brooklyn has ignited the NBA sphere for several days now. The formation of a potential Big Three Harden / Kevin Durant / Kyrie Irving prompts a lot of questions and reactions including that of Anthony Davis, who is monitoring the case.
James Harden’s name is on everyone’s lips right now. Indeed, the cracking of the Bearded, who asked to leave Houston without delay and by being ruthless with his own frankness, is at the heart of the news in this already prosperous period in transfers and especially in various rumors.
The hype is also rising around Brooklyn, a destination that seems ideal in the eyes of the MVP 2018, especially with the idea of forming a big Big 3 with Kyrie Irving and one Kevin Durant back to competition. By the way, everyone agrees on the matter, including Anthony Davis in the podcast Da Windy City with Mark Carman:
You have a great trainer over there in Brooklyn (Steve Nash, editor’s note), a very smart guy who knows the game with his leadership vision. If it happens, it happens, if it doesn’t, it doesn’t. I’m already trying to figure out what I, Anthony Davis, will do. Once I figure that out, we’ll start looking at other teams and that sort of thing. But it will be a very good team.
The first lesson of this interview is that a few days before the opening of the free agency (November 20), Anthony Davis obviously still does not know what he plans to do! Some would say, however, that this doubt strongly resembles a facade to gain the advantage in negotiations with the Lakers.
If the creation of the Big 3 were to take place, the Nets would automatically be propelled among the favorites to dethrone the Lakers. On paper, this would even be arguably the most powerful formation in the entire league. And if Internet users on social networks doubt the compatibility of the trio, a legend already seems very hyped by this Big Three.
However, it should be remembered that James Harden’s experience with Russell Westbrook this season was not a clear success. The 3 superstars the Nets want to bring together are very greedy in terms of ball possession, and a journalist even speaks of a “total chaos in the team” if the Barbu arrives at the Nets. The tone is set.
Harden-Irving-Durant, opinions on this Big Three are divided while the negotiations are progressing little by little. The birth of the Nets 3-headed war machine continues.
