NBA is getting waves because of James Harden

This transfer is legal, but is assessed as potentially unbalancing the tournament. The Brooklyn Nets, in theory, became very powerful with three All-Star superstars Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Harden.

Harden was eight times in the All-Star squad of the tournament, and was the best player in the NBA in 2018. The bearded superstar is known as one of the top scoring players in the NBA, like his peers. new team Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. His appearance turned the Nets into a real force in the tournament, able to compete for the championship with the best candidate being defending champion Los Angeles Lakers – where “The King” LeBron James is wearing. Before that, Harden showed many times of depression and disappointment at the former Rockets team – where he thought he never had a chance to reach the NBA championship ring.

The Harden transfer is complicated, because of the size of this superstar and his “huge” salary. There are four teams involved in this deal, due to the high demands of each side. The Houston Rockets lost James Harden, but received three players Victor Oladipo, Rodions Kurucs, Dante Exum, and four first-round rookie selections over the next five years. They also have four options to change options between 2021, 2023, 2025 and 2027. This gives the Rockets the opportunity to rebuild the team based on young talent, after losing the most important player, Harden.

Nets accepted Harden but lost some existing pillars, such as Caris LeVert to Indiana Pacers, and Jarrett Allen and Taurean Prince to Cleveland Cavaliers. Those are the teams that have lost their rookie selection to the Rockets in the coming years. The Nets, therefore, have only 12 players left, below the NBA minimum (15 people). They will also be fined for exceeding the allowed tax threshold of the tournament, due to the salary bracket being exceeded with the arrival of Harden. The 31-year-old superstar will receive $ 41 million this season, the highest in the team. Currently, Durant received 40 million, and Irving also cost the Nets 33 million USD for this season.

After Harden moved to the Nets, many NBA players were shocked. “The NBA is crazy now,” Atlanta Hawks defender Trae Young wrote on Twitter. “Too much firepower in Brooklyn”, Portland Trail Blazers superstar Damian Lillard expressed frustration when the opponent was too strong.
