James Harden got traded to the Philadelphia 76ers from the Brooklyn Nets after reports of him being unhappy with the team administration came out. Harden’s move to Philadelphia led Ben Simmons to join hands with the Brooklyn Nets. Seth Curry and Andre Drummond also had to part ways with the 76ers as they were also sent to Brooklyn in exchange for the former MVP James Harden. Stephen Curry had something to say about the trade between the two teams as it also involved his brother Seth.

The Brooklyn Nets assembled a trio of superstars Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving. Well safe to say anything other than an NBA championship title would be considered a failure for the organization. Things did not end well for Brooklyn as all three were traded off to different teams. It remains to be seen how the Nets will perform in the upcoming seasons.

Steph claims Seth was caught in a massive crossfire

In an interview given to Sports Illustrated Stephen Curry had some interesting words to describe his younger brother Seth’s trade to the Brooklyn Nets.

He said, “It’s a big move, big splash, I know [Seth] is kinda caught in the crossfire of Philly making a move like that, because he loved it there, and they were playing well, but you have to make that move, and it’s a win-win for him. Hopefully, he can still be on a contender and be impactful in the playoff chase with Brooklyn, so I’m excited to see him in a new uni.”

Steph thinks Seth was a victim of a trade war between Philadelphia and Brooklyn.

Although he still sees the positive side of things for his brother and wants his team to be a contender in the playoffs in the upcoming seasons. Seems like exceptional three-point shooting ability runs in the veins of the Curry family as Seth Curry is a versatile three-point shooter (43.7% from long range). Seth’s shooting will be an asset for the Nets in the upcoming season if they are to contend for the title in the upcoming years.
