The Nets lost 8 consecutive losses and fell to the bottom, Harden's trading rumors are still fermenting, according to ESPN reports Harden is looking for a new agent to help him deal with contracts, transactions, contract extensions and other matters. It's just that Harden complained about the Nets, coaches and teammates, but he was criticized by the US media for his habit of shirking responsibility and blaming others, but rarely blaming himself.
Harden hasn't had an agent for years, and he does have a business manager, Lorenzo McCloud. When Harden wanted to leave the Rockets before the 2020 season, he commissioned Wasserman's agents Jason Lane and Chafe Fields to negotiate with the Rockets and other teams. The two played a key role in getting Harden to join the Nets, and then their working relationship ended in March 2021, the sources said.
Now sources have told ESPN that Harden and his manager have been looking for an agent to work with to help Harden with everything, whether it's becoming a free agent, signing and swapping after leaving the Nets at the end of the season, or renewing his contract to stay with the Nets, or even being traded before the deadline.
Harden, who is not currently on an early contract extension with the Nets, told ESPN's Malika Andrews that he is looking forward to becoming a free agent for the first time in his career. Until then, he insisted he was focused on winning the championship with the Brooklyn Nets.
It's just that the promise, not as convincing as it appears, is something Harden has barely done lately. This season harden has played disappointing performances, in some cases it may be related to injuries, in others he may pout and complain.
Harden's private complaints about the Nets coaches, teammates and teams have spread throughout the league, and people who have worked with him in the past understand that this is how he has been a common performance in difficult times. Nearly everyone who has worked with Harden for a long time in the NBA admits that he will quickly blame others — and rarely blame himself.
