"James Harden was made some promises, which are not being kept": Shaquille O'Neal and Dwyane Wade address reports of the Nets star being frustrated with the Kyrie Irving situation and wanting out

Brooklyn Nets star Patty Mills responds satirically to questions regarding teammate James Harden following his return

 

James Harden is back people… at least in the sense that he will be allowed back onto the court.

As you probably know by now, the NBA is currently facing a massive breakout of Covid-19. Multiple key players from multiple franchises have had to enter Health and Safety protocols in the past few weeks. And unfortunately for the Nets, both James Harden and Kevin Durant were forced to become a part of that demographic.

But now, while the Slim Reaper continues to be sidelined, the Beard was finally allowed back in, and even practiced with the team.

With such a massive player coming back mere days before the Nets’ Christmas game against the Lakers, its obvious that reporters and fans wanted to know all about the situation at hand. But, while teammate Patty Mills decided to take on an interview question on the topic, he didn’t want to let much on.

The result? Well, let’s just say Harden will have one, very specific word in mind when he hears the statement himself.

Now, after reading that heading, you’re probably thinking ‘that sounds fairly normal. But that’s the thing. The man did not mean it in the way you’re thinking about it, right now.

To get what the man really meant, perhaps you simply need to take a look at the quote in the tweet below.

Alright, now we get that the man doesn’t want to reveal anything. But still, we have a feeling Harden will want to repeat this following moment when he meets up with his teammate next.

As for the man’s condition, the Nets’ Christmas day game against the Lakers could prove to be a good litmus test. If the Beard can manage to add to this team that has won 7 of its last 10 games, things could get dangerous for LA.

Another embarrassing blowout will most definitely be on the cards for this one.
