Today on a special BRING IT IN, TrueHoop’s David Thorpe, Henry Abbott, and Jarod Hector discussed the Harden trade. What just happened? Who won ? Which player traded yesterday will be the highest performer in three years? Were the Rockets really ever trying to win this year? Is the Nets’ defense good enough? What other trades make sense now?
I don't think it's crazy to say that Kevin Durant might be the best player in 3 years. He's only 32, and I could see him aging like Chris Paul or Dirk did and still be fringe all-star at 35.
I know he's taking a lot of flack, but I'm happy Harden got to go to the team he wanted. Players so rarely get any real control of their lives, I don't mind seeing those with the juice use it. I do feel bad for everyone else who woke up and now has to move to a new city, though.
