"James Harden is committed, but who know what would happen?": Nets' Kyrie Irving claims the Beard wants to stay in Brooklyn, while not ruling out possibility of a trade

Nets’ star Kyrie Irving talks about James Harden, says the Beard is committed to the Nets, while giving a vague statement

The Brooklyn Nets have been at the center of media attention for some time now. Earlier, it used to be for being an offensive mammoth. A lineup having Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden? An easy ring right? After injuries derailed the Nets’ quest to a championship last season, this year it’s injuries and COVID-19 vaccination both.

Since KD has been out, the Nets have gone 2-8, and are on an 8-game losing skid. Among all this, there have been claims that James Harden wants out, and wants to team up with Joel Embiid instead. Since these reports, Kevin Durant has expressed that he wants Harden to stay. Head Coach Steve Nash has denied any trade rumors. The last person who had to speak, finally did, after the whooping against the Nuggets.

James Harden has been an important part of the roster for the Nets this season. Even though his numbers arent the same, he’s risen to the occasion multiple times. However, he hasn’t seemed like himself since KD got injured. Maybe it’s his own share of injuries that are bothering him, or maybe he just wants out.

Guess we’ll have to wait till the 10th to know for sure.
