Golden State Warriors

James Harden-Nets trade: Winners, losers from wild NBA blockbuster

History has been made. A player can get out of shape, publicly demand a trade without even giving his new coach a chance, look completely disengaged on the court, party mask-less at strip clubs during a global pandemic and still get exactly what he wants.

Welcome to the James Harden Experience.

Harden reportedly was traded Wednesday from the Houston Rockets to the Brooklyn Nets as part of a four-team deal. He joins Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and coach Steve Nash in New York for what should be a wild ride no matter how it turns out. The Warriors no longer will play Harden multiple times a season unless the two squads square off in the NBA Finals.

It’s a new day for the Rockets, Nets and the rest of the league. Here are the winners and losers from one of the biggest blockbuster moves in basketball history.
