DENVER -- The Brooklyn Nets do not plan to trade James Harden prior to Thursday's NBA trade deadline. Nets coach Steve Nash made that clear before Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets as Harden's name continues to pop up in trade speculation.
"Yes," Nash said. "That's correct."
Nash also said Harden has repeatedly told him that he wants to stay in Brooklyn for the foreseeable future.
"I've talked to James; he wants to be here," Nash said. "He wants to be here long term as well, so I don't think anything's changed other than noise from the outside.
