On January 26, Beijing time, according to US media reports, in the face of rumors of Harden's dissatisfaction with Nash and Irving, Nash accepted a media interview before today's Nets game against the Lakers, and said that he has been communicating with Harden, the relationship between the two sides is very good, and he has not heard complaints.
Nash said: "I just heard the news, I have been communicating with Harden, we have a good relationship, I didn't hear him complain about any, I'm not sure if the rumors about Harden are true." In addition, Nash also said that Harden was strong and did not listen to him talk about any questions about his rotation.
According to previous reports, Harden has many grievances about the Nets, even the weather in Brooklyn. At the same time, Harden like the Nets and relatives and friends around him expressed his dissatisfaction with Irving's part-time status, at the same time, Durant's injury made the situation very serious, Harden can only shoulder the offensive responsibility at home.
In addition to this, coach Nash's rotation lineup is often changing, which also makes Harden a little frustrated. In addition, according to sources, Nash likes to end the game with a lineup in better shape, and there is no fixed lineup at key moments.
Of course, Harden doesn't like living in Brooklyn, and in addition to the weather changes, the tax gap between New York and Texas is also very obvious.
So, for a number of reasons above, Harden wants to test the waters of the free market this summer and explore opportunities other than Brooklyn, and the 76ers may be a good choice for such a situation.
However, Nash denied this statement before today's game, so is Harden really as the US media report says? Harden has yet to respond.
