Steve Nash repeats himself, expects James Harden to remain with Nets

Brooklyn Nets coach Steve Nash still denies that the team is shopping James Harden.

The trade deadline is now about a day and a half away and the Philadelphia 76ers will remain at the forefront of every trade conversation now concerning Brooklyn Nets star James Harden.

The Beard and the Nets are having an up and down season as it is not going as well as most thought it would when it comes to Brooklyn’s Big 3 of Harden, Kevin Durant, and Kyrie Irving. Injury issues to all three as well as Irving’s vaccination status continue to plague this team as they look to find any consistency moving forward.

With Harden potentially being a free agent in the 2021 offseason and with the rumblings that he wants to join the Sixers, all eyes are on the Nets and the Sixers to get a deal done before the offseason, but Brooklyn coach Steve Nash doesn’t expect the Nets to move Harden. In fact, Nash doesn’t expect any changes at all to Brooklyn’s roster.

Nash said something similar as he said the Nets were not considering moving Harden. At this point, it is all about deflecting and posturing as both sides look to make their move heading into Thursday’s 3 p.m. EST deadline.
