James Harden eventually went to the Nets through a big four-party trade and reunited with former teammate Kevin Durant. However, according to the source, KD had warned Harden not to go to the Warriors anyway, because it was Stephen Curry’s world.
Veteran media professionals Bill Simmons and Jackie MacMullan recently appeared on the Ryen Russillo radio show to talk about Harden transactions and mentioned some inside information.
Russillo said that KD and Harden are very close. KD hopes that he will leave Houston and join him in the Nets. There is a lot of exchange between them.
MacMullan revealed that KD’s only complaint about his experience playing in the Warriors is that he is not Curry and will never be Curry. “No matter what he does and how many titles he won, people don’t recognize him very much. Curry is still the boss of the team. .”
KD played for the Warriors for 3 years and scored the championship for 3 consecutive years. Among them, he won the second consecutive championship in 2017 and 2018. He was also elected FMVP twice. But in any case, he is in the shadow of Curry, unable to become the boss of the team, so this largely contributed to his leaving the Warriors two years ago in order to create his own glory in the Nets.
After Harden forced the Rockets to trade, the Warriors had joined the battle in the early days to inquire about the Rockets’ asking price, but soon decided to withdraw. Maybe the Rockets are asking too much, or maybe the Warriors feel that their lineup is good, and Harden’s arrival will destroy a lot of the team.
