James Harden Makes Bold Claims About the Los Angeles Lakers’ Moves in the Off-Season

James Harden will play a very crucial role if the Brooklyn Nets want to achieve something this season. However, the Brooklyn Nets have also made significant changes this offseason by bringing LaMarcus Aldridge back from retirement. Further, they also added Patty Mills, the Australian scoring machine to their roster.

So the Brooklyn Nets look set for a deep run in the playoffs. And if their players remain healthy, unlike last season, they are one of the favorites to be champions. The other team many consider to be the favorite to win the title is the Los Angeles Lakers.

Recently, though, Harden had clarified that he is not worried about the Lakers. While talking to the media in a press conference, Harden claimed the Nets were “not worried about anybody else”.

James Harden speaks during Media Day

A reporter asked Harden if he felt that “a lot of moves that were made this offseason” with the primary aim of beating the Nets. Harden said, “Honestly, no. I think we’re very confident and we’re great. Like we’re talented enough.”

“We have a very new vet group that’s been there before we have some young guys that are going to be done in a fire with us. But it’s not about anybody else but us. Like if we take care of our business and approach the game and approach each day like we know you’re going to know we’re not ready we’re not worried about anybody else.”

The reporter clearly implied that he wanted to know Harden’s views on mainly the Lakers’ offseason moves. Since the Lakers are the favorites to win the Western Conference title in the coming season. Moreover, they were one of the most active teams in the free agency and made the most significant changes for a championship run.
