A FAN’S PERSPECTIVE: James Harden, the new Nets, and bright lights, big city

There’s no turning back. Last Wednesday afternoon, the Brooklyn Nets went for the gold and traded for former MVP James Harden. In the process, they sent out Caris Levert, Jarrett Allen, Taurean Prince, and a bushel of draft picks over the next seven years. The move represents one of the most consequential trades in NBA history and for Brooklyn specifically, their biggest trade since the other big one in 2013 that brought Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Jason Terry to Brooklyn from the rival Boston Celtics.

On the court, the move is looking solid so far.
