In 2019, the Brooklyn Nets were building a big team on paper by recruiting Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving the same year. However, the first would like a change of scenery and would therefore have claimed his trade this summer.

For a few years now, the Brooklyn Nets have set themselves the goal of seeking their first title NBA of their history. With this in mind, the New York franchise has given itself the means to achieve this by recruiting Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in 2019. In 2021, the duo was joined by James Harden.

James Harden was the first to slam the door, he who joined the philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Ben Simmons, Andre Drummond and Seth Curry last February.
