After $15 Million Decision, James Harden’s “Changed” Relationship With Kevin Durant Might Worry LeBron James and Others

The Brooklyn Nets have been through several roster changes in the past few years. The Bubble years saw the incoming of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. It was not long before Durant’s Ex teammate James Harden joined forces with them to create the next big three. Since then, James Harden left to play with Joel Embiid for the 76ers. While Ben Simmons was part of the trade that sent Harden to Philadelphia, and Kevin Durant has reiterated his desire to play for another team next season to the Brooklyn Nets management.

The KD trade talks may have seen a shift in tide concerning with his relationship with Harden finding a resolution. The former teammates were spotted at a Travis Scott concert in the UK on the 7th of August. This could mean that Durant and Harden would potentially link up as their chemistry is off the charts.

KD and Harden have played together for the Thunder and the Nets now and would make an unbeatable team if they paired with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. This news has the NBA world sweating as they monitor KD’s every move.

In 2017 Kevin Durant left Russell Westbrook?to join an All-star studded Warriors side, instantly making them a championship team. It would be very dangerous for competitors like LeBron James and Kyrie Irving, who have already lost to a Kevin Durant-led team in the past. NBCSports recently reported that insiders for Philadelphia feel quite strongly about landing Kevin Durant.

A potential reunion for Kevin Durant and James Harden in Philadelphia

Sources across the NBA believe that with KD and Harden rekindling their relationship, there is a possibility for them to join forces. Harden recently took a $15 million pay cut to create space to sign talented players to the 76ers roster. According to Ramon Shelburne, the 76ers may be closing on Kevin Durant.

Ramon said, “From what I’m told, the two former teammates are back on good terms now despite [James] Harden forcing his way out of Brooklyn.”

The recent news suggests that KD might find his way out of the Nets. His amicability with Harden also points to the fact that the 76ers may be in contention to land him.

What would Philadelphia give up for Kevin Durant?

Duran is one of the most recruited players in the NBA. He expressed his wish to be traded from Brooklyn to owner Joe Tsai after his rift with the Nets management. NBA reporter Ian Begley detailed an offer that has potential for a Kevin Durant deal.

Ian said, “As of earlier this week, there were high-ranking members of the Sixers who’ve felt strongly about engaging with Brooklyn on a Durant trade. It is unknown if Brooklyn and Philadelphia have made any recent progress on trade. The Sixers would almost certainly have to include?Tyrese Maxey in a trade for Durant. Given the dynamics at play, you’d think that Tobias Harris, Matisse Thybulle and other players/draft picks would be included.”

This would turn the league upside down and give players like LeBron James a flashback from the Warriors Dynasty days. LeBron would certainly not enjoy KD on another All-Star team with top talents like Joel Embiid and James Harden.
