"I think you need to look at this from Harden's perspective. Kyrie Owen didn't play, I was injured again, and Harden hadn't won a championship before. When talking about the reasons why Harden left the Nets, Durant analyzed from Harden's point of view through empathy, and he was fully able to understand the decision Made by Harden.
Judging from Durant's words, his realm is still very high. Durant did not blame Harden's departure, but was able to understand Harden, which is also a kind of support for his brother. We know that Harden left the Rockets to join the Nets at that time, in order to form a big three with Durant and Irving to chase the championship, after the failure of the championship last season, the New Season Nets have a new situation, Irving can not play because there is no vaccine, Durant is also injured, plus Harden's contract with the Nets is not ideal, so I can actually understand why Harden left the Nets.
But why can Durant have such a high posture and be able to empathize with Harden's departure? I think there are two main reasons for this:
First, Durant and Harden have feelings
A person is willing to think from your point of view, which is enough to show that he has feelings for you and is willing to think about you. Durant and Harden have established a deep relationship as early as the Thunder period, although harden later left to join the Rockets, Durant subsequently left the Thunder, but their relationship has always been. It's like a colleague we met at our first job, and we encouraged each other to fight each other, and the feeling was very deep.
Later, Harden left the Rockets to follow Durant to join the Nets, and from this we can also see that there is a very deep brotherly relationship between Durant and Harden. Otherwise Harden wouldn't have come to the Nets, so why wouldn't Harden go after James with the Lakers?
Therefore, the reason why Durant has feelings for Harden is that he will stand in Harden's perspective for Harden's sake and not blame Harden.
Second, Durant is a person who has come over and is deeply touched by Harden's departure
Durant said Harden had not won a championship before. He said that on the point, Harden is now whether he joined the Nets before or now goes to the 76ers, he has only one purpose, that is, to chase the championship dream, and this mood is still very urgent. As Harden's brother, Durant is a person who has come over and is deeply touched by Harden's mood. Do you think that when Durant left the Thunder to join the Warriors, wasn't it for the championship? How much Durant wanted a championship back then, Harden now has more than that.
That's why Durant understands Harden's departure. As a brother, Harden must have also shown Durant his determination to win the championship, and Durant can only support all his options. Good luck to Harden and hopefully he wins the championship with the 76ers.
