“Y’all Wanted Houston James Harden, You Got Em”: Nets Star’s Cryptic Ultimatum Leaves NBA Fans In A Frenzy

With James Harden, Kevin Durant, and Kyrie Irving on one team, the Brooklyn Nets were meant to form the perfect super team. However, injuries and rules set by the league seem to be constant obstacles on that path to greatness. Having said that, recent reports about Harden’s place with the team might not be as secure as one would think.

Irrespective of their position on the NBA points table, the Nets are considered as top contenders for the title. However, many believe that the team actually needs more time to triumph during the playoffs. Having said that, certain reports have fans confused.

Fans react to concerning James Harden news

When Harden moved to Brooklyn from the Houston Rockets, his purpose was clear – winning a title. With two other icons on the roster, that dream did not seem so far-fetched for anyone. Unfortunately, the Nets have been struggling. Injuries have kept Durant and Harden sidelined for a significant amount of time, while league rules prevent Irving from picking up a more consistent role.

Moreover, Brooklyn’s big three have rarely played together.

Is Harden leaving the Nets?

Current reports suggest that while Harden is happy with the Nets, he needs them to continue winning. If not, Harden might be out of Brooklyn sooner than expected. Of course, these reports might not hold true eventually. The Nets are reportedly determined to send away trade offers for the 32-year-old, not interested in parting ways.

Fan reactions to the news have been varying. While some were expecting this, some wondered if Harden can actually stick with the Nets. “Ya’ll wanted Houston James Harden ya’ll got em,” wrote one user, seemingly unamused by the tweet. Others saw it as it is, which is his possible departure in case of no title.

“So I’m other words…he’s leaving if they don’t win a championship,” one fan said.

Many even defended Harden. Irving has been available in a part-time role now, which might not be most ideal for Harden. Others also pointed out that what this team needs is its stars back on the court and healthy. If that happens, they might actually have a shot.

Furthermore, there are already reports about Harden being frustrated with Irving’s part-time presence.
