After getting frustrated with not reaching the NBA Finals with the Houston Rockets, Harden demanded a trade. And in December 2020 his wish was granted as he was traded to the Brooklyn Nets to form a new big three in the east. Harden teamed up with ex-teammate Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.

But their time together was not fruitful, as Kevin missed a significant part of last season. And when they finally got healthy together, Harden got injured in the postseason.
