On February 12, Beijing time, more insider information about Harden leaving the Nets and joining the 76ers was exposed, and it is reported that Durant is very opposed to trading Harden, but failed to make Dengge change his mind.
As we all know, Durant is an important reason for Harden to choose to join the Nets in the first place, and it is his savings that make the Nets form a big three, so Adu especially does not want Dengge to leave, and it is reasonable.
According to the famous journalist Ramona Shelburne, it was Ben Simmons' agent Rich Paul who first opened the trading button. On Jan. 14, FuPaul met with Durant and Durant's business partner Kleiman in New York and first proposed the idea of Simmons and Harden swapping.
Durant was very opposed to this and strongly resisted. However, just 48 hours later, he suffered an MCL injury. After losing Adu, the Nets almost became Harden's single-core team, which also led to the further expansion of the contradictions between the two sides until they could not be bridged.
It can be seen that although the eldest brother clearly opposes it, his opinion is not important to the third brother at all and can be completely ignored. Therefore, in the face of the ridicule of James and others in the all-star selection, Durant can only laugh awkwardly.
