With Harden's departure, the Nets Big Three disintegrated. In a recent interview, Durant was also asked about the topic of Harden and Irving, what is Adu's answer?
Durant must have been very disappointed in Harden's departure, but at least on the surface he remained respectful. He said: "Harden doesn't need to explain it to anyone. He has his own opinions and doesn't owe anyone an explanation, and I didn't ask him for an explanation. ”
Adu stressed that he did not try to keep Harden, "I will not do any persuasion work, my idea is that once I need to persuade others to change from unhappy to happy, it is too late." Harden's decision was his own, and as a friend, I could only accept it. ”
Harden is gone, Irving insists on not getting vaccinated, unable to participate in the home game, and the media rumors that the two are not compatible. In response, Durant said: "I can't guess what Harden thinks, but I know the media will put things on Irving. Irving has always been a scapegoat for everyone, especially in the media and fans, and it is always easy to criticize him.
'We understand what it's like to be missing a player, but we're all professional players and it doesn't change the way we work no matter who is on the pitch or not, but I'm sure there are people who want things to be different.'
