Follow Us
James Harden has been the franchise player for the Rockets for the past 8 seasons. In that time span, Harden has been nothing but phenomenal. Yet, he has failed to win an NBA Championship.
Over the years, Harden has had various star players play alongside him. However, the Rockets couldn’t get past the Western Conference Finals.
Now, the latest experiment of pairing up Russell Westbrook and Harden seems to have a roadblock. With Westbrook already making it clear that he wants out of Houston, many rumors suggest that Harden will be gone as well.

No offense to the talents of the three superstars individually, but playing together is a different task. Not many superstars can alter their game to take a shared leadership for the team.
However, if this trade goes down, the Nets will have an advantage in one particular department. Both KD and Irving have previously played on super teams in their careers. They know what it takes to win a title while playing alongside major superstars.

So, their previous experience could help Harden in making adjustments to his newfound role. On the other hand, it is a well-known fact that Harden and Irving are ball-dominant players.
