Report: Some Nets players not keen on James Harden joining Brooklyn

James Harden’s time in Houston may be coming to an end.

As the perpetual MVP candidate rethinks his future, the idea of joining Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in Brooklyn has reportedly grown on him

But, that doesn’t necessarily mean the Nets’ front office is ready to do the deal.

And it definitely doesn’t mean all the players on the Nets’ roster want to see the deal happen — because quite a few could potentially be included in the deal with Houston.

According to Ian Begley of SNY, some Nets players were contacted by “people around Harden” about the of the guard joining the nets. Not all of them were in favor of the proposal.

“One possible destination Harden could land is in Brooklyn with the Nets, but according to SNY sources, the support for such a trade wasn’t universal,” Begley writes. “People around Harden contacted some Nets players to discuss the possibility of the perennial All-Star joining the team, per SNY sources. Some were supportive, but not all players contacted about a potential Harden-to-Brooklyn deal were in favor of it, sources said.”

Of course, the opinions that matter most, when it comes to Brooklyn players, are Kevin Durant’s and Kyrie Irving’s. While Durant would still put up big numbers with or without Harden, Irving’s production could take a hit if the Rockets star comes to Brooklyn.
