Just one day after James Harden blasted the Rockets in an awkward postgame press conference, the former league MVP was traded to the Brooklyn Nets in a blockbuster, multi-team deal.
The immediate impact of the trade will team Harden up with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, which should be wild because they’re all phenomenal basketball talents but also high-volume shooters with big personalities.
Assuming Irving ever shows up to practice and games again, Steve Nash will have to figure out how to make an offense work with the three ball-dominant players.
But hey, you can always count on NBA Twitter to give us a sneak peek.
A preview of the new Nets offense. 😂

In a video circulating on Twitter following the trade Wednesday, someone put Harden on the Nets in NBA 2K21 and basically had Durant, Harden and Irving each dribble around aimlessly in isolation before Kyrie launched up a corner 3.
It doesn’t get much better than that. After all, the shot did go in.
