Why This Trade Would Benefit The Brooklyn Nets

After trading for James Harden, the Brooklyn Nets became the betting favorite to win the Eastern Conference. This is an extremely real possibility given their star power. If they were to trade Kyrie Irving, they would still be considered one of the favorites in the conference.

The goal is to win an NBA championship. Kyrie Irving clearly has other things on his mind which has even caused many people to suggest retirement. Kevin Durant and James Harden are good enough to navigate through the Eastern Conference and into the NBA Finals.

Kevin Durant has shown that he is still one of the best scorers in the game. The Nets had to part ways with many NBA Draft picks in order to acquire James Harden and this deal could help to replenish some of that. This deal would also help the Nets to surround both Kevin Harden and James Harden with helpful role players to fill holes in their supporting cast.

This deal would benefit the Brooklyn Nets just to get the ongoing headache out of the organization. They already made one blockbuster in recent weeks so why not go for another to surround Kevin Durant and James Harden more supporting cast talent?
