Harden gone?

Sources around the league believe there is a ?verbal agreement? between the Nets and Rockets that would bring James Harden to Brooklyn, and create a superteam with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.

Or to the Clippers

It will be interesting, if this is true, to see what the package is. Don't really know what the Nets have that could pull off a Harden deal.

If this is true. Its shocking to me cause it seemed like houston had all the leverage to wait for the very best offers. Not saying the nets can't do that but I wanted to see them stall for the best resources/players.

Dinwiddie, Levert, Allen, all of the firsts. My assumption

Honestly, watching KD, Kyrie, and Harden attempt to share a floor simultaneously would be quite funny

Its worth the gamble, but man that fit will be weird. Will there be fistfights at mid-court for who?s turn it is offensively. The Cavs offense was basically Lebron and Kyrie taking turns running the show. Now you have Harden/Kyrie with Durant sprinkled in. They are all capable of being deadly off ball, they all just have to buy in. Not worried about Durant buying in considering he did it in Golden State, Kyrie and Harden are different a story.

Yeah it's a completely different set-up. It works in Golden State because Curry was famously very willing to spend large portions of the game off ball, running around off screens and relocating to tug defenses around with his immense shooting gravity. Harden, for contrast, has alienated two HoF players in a row with CP3 and Westbrook by refusing to give up the ball basically ever, and Kyrie left Cleveland because he didn't want to share with Lebron.

Read that Celtics are trying to take a shot by offering Kemba for picks elsewhere. Not sure it will work though as Harden pulling an AD by trying to force his way to a particular team.
