It’s hard to recall another time where they was so much speculation, so much smoke, about a Nets trade ... unless of course you go back a year to the just before the James Harden trade.
Despite statements on the record from Harden disclaiming the wave of rumors about an off-season move to Philadelphia, despite the Adrian Wojnarowski report that the Nets have not made nor will entertain calls for Harden at the deadline — and have confidence their superstar wants to stay, another writer, Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports said on Spotify that Harden has interest in Philadelphia, spurred by his relationship not just with GM Daryl Morey but with minority owner Michael Rubin.
