LeBron James Gives Brutally Honest Take on James Harden Leaving Rockets For Nets

James Harden left the Houston Rockets to join Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets. It was a big move for both teams, and NBA fans were pretty surprised. Harden wanted to go. Brooklyn was his favorite landing spot. Working with KD and Kyrie Irving seems like a good deal now, and Brooklyn is winning games thanks to the superteam they formed over a month ago. The Nets will meet LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers on Feb. 18. Both teams are expected to meet in the NBA Finals this season. That’s what makes this game so interesting. LeBron shared his take on Harden and his signing with the Nets.

Thursday is a big day for players on both teams. LA has a 22-7 record at this point of the regular season. LeBron and his teammates defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves. It was a good practice for the upcoming game. LeBron will have the toughest game of the 2020-21 NBA season and everyone knows it. Sadly, he will be playing without Lakers big man Anthony Davis. AD is dealing with Achilles issues and calf strain. LeBron has won games without his star teammate, and he will do it again. However, playing against Brooklyn is a big bite to swallow.

LeBron shares his take on Harden and his deal with the Nets

The highly anticipated game has been making headlines since the moment Brooklyn signed Harden through a trade deal. The Nets have one of the most intimidating trios in the league.

King James discussed this trade, sharing a different side of the story. Harden’s trade rocked the NBA and Houston had to make a move.

“James felt like he wanted to be in a different position, different situation,” James said. “He wants to win, he wants to win now and he felt like he’s time was over in Houston.”

The Nets have been dealing with a lot of struggles lately. However, their revamped roster will give LeBron a big headache Thursday night.

AD will be out until after the All-Star weekend.
