Kevin Durant doesn’t want James Harden to go anywhere, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. During an appearance on NBA Countdown, Wojnarowski reported that Durant doesn’t want the Nets to trade Harden by the Thursday trade deadline.
ESPN has previously reported, and it echoed it on Saturday, that Harden made it clear to the Nets that he wants to stay with the team. But that hasn’t stopped trade rumors from swirling. On Friday, the The Athletic reported that the 76ers would pursue a trade for Harden that would center around Ben Simmons and that the Nets would be open to it.
