The Brooklyn Nets are the proud owners of the NBA’s newest “big three.” As James Harden‘s tenure with the Houston Rockets was going up in flames, it became clear that he was going to the Philadelphia 76ers or the Nets.
When push came to shove, the Nets were the team willing to move all their chips to the middle of the table. They are all-in on Harden and this moment. There are no two ways about it — it’s championship or bust in Brooklyn.
After trading away two of their most promising players in Caris LeVert and Jarrett Allen and a treasure chest of first-round draft picks and pick swaps, the Nets need a championship to justify the move.
