    Harden has the big 3 and some 3 point shooters around him, must be good to be like the Warriors for a change.

    Yeah! Good luck with containing Kyrie playing 3 on 2. You can't really double any of the Nets big 3 or you will get burned. I'm not even a Kyrie fan but he will destroy teams if you don't cover him honestly.

    I heard XM radio 86...called "No look pass" I think, talk about the Nets possibly picking up PJ Tucker after hou buys him out? I know Tilman is trying to save but i would think that we could get a draft pick of some sort for him.

    Having PJ on the nets would boost their defense alot

    Joe Harris is the real underrated signing on this team. He is money from 3, and he plays defense

    i just checked the nets still have spencer dinwiddie too smh, got too many guards

    they are still sending triple teams at harden even with durant and joe harris on the court( CRAZY). Harden has the most gravity in the nba of any player i've seen since 09 Lebron. They rather leave durant single covered than to leave Harden one on one

    The Nets defense and rebounding are their only weakness. Durant and Harden aren't great at getting around screens and DJ is just too slow footed these days. We will see how they defend the Lakers.

    Teams have been clogging the lane to counter Harden drives but now he gets the whole lane open because of Durant and Joe Harris.

    Harden and other Superstars wouldn't be able to do what they did, without turning themselves into one of the greatest NBA players currently. That took hard work and dedication beyond that of a normal person. Not just any NBA player can do that. Imagine being good enough to make the NBA... Then not just become an Allstar but an MVP.

    He did what he did because he has afforded himself that... good or bad... like it or not...
    He gets to live his life the way he want to and as fans, we are on the outside looking in.

    I hope he gets a Chip then shuts up all the haters

    If they can get another big defensive big in and another defensive spot-up shooter, they're going to be unstoppable, especially if they keep Kyrie. People seem to forget that Kyrie can play off the ball.... and he's a good 3pt shooter to boot.

    No, Like Lebron will be remembered as a Cavs player once he retires , Harden will be remembered predominantly as a Rockets player.
    They have three roster spot open.NY post has them linked to Trevor Ariza, McGee or Dedmond . I doubt Tucker gets bought out but if he does you can bet he will go where Harden is.

    Durant is underrated defensively, when he is dialed in he is a weak side menace.

    Eh- I think bed make them a lot better. He’s the 5th guy that makes sense to close games out with them. Harris, Tucker and the big 3. That’s just an absurd closing lineup on offense. KD plays the 5 defensively with Tucker at the 4. Thats better than DJ or Green closing.
    We have all their picks and swaps so I have no idea what they could give us. I don’t think they have anything of value unless you want to ask for cash and a handful of 2nds. I’d think PJ could get you a late first from someone but not going to swear to that. Sixers? Heat? Clippers in 2027 or something stupid? biggest problem with trading PJ to a contender is so many of them have gone all in and don’t have any draft picks to deal. I’m thinking Dallas, Denver, Philly and Miami are the only contenders who could trade picks and they are all pretty fringe. Boston could but I don’t see how Tucker actually improves them.

    So finally the mainstream media are finally catching on to the fact why the coaches voted that Harden is the guy they do the most planning to stop every night?
