After Kyrie and Durant asked to leave, it turned out that James Harden was not "crazy" to want to leave the Brooklyn Nets

After two years of high hopes and disappointments, the Brooklyn Nets "super squad" has officially broken up.

This trio of superstars including Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving have only played 16 games together in a year and a half for various reasons, all creating one of the worst "superteams" ever. now.

In the end, the three took turns asking to leave. James Harden departed before leaving the team last year, then it was Durant and Irving's turn to hit the road in this year's transfer window.

As the forerunner, James Harden was criticized a lot soon after leaving Brooklyn. Until now, when both Kyrie and Kevin Durant followed, the "bearded god" was able to speak about the request to be traded 1 year ago:

When Harden was further asked if things could have turned out differently, he would still want to stay. The answer is yes, but James doesn't go into detail.

"Definitely yes, a lot of things are different," said the All-Star defender, who currently plays for the Philadelphia 76ers. internally that I or the other players certainly won't tell outside.

Because of these things, I decided to leave, as if I lost the time I had sacrificed to be there. Everyone thought I was crazy then, but now I don't look like a madman anymore.

I don't look like someone who purposely broke the system, ruined the team's future, quit or whatever when people commented on me. I knew what was going on there and thought 'maybe I'm not okay here, I don't want to deal with this'.

At the time of James Harden's request to leave, many reputable sites quoted their sources and said that Harden and Irving had a strained relationship. Many people speculated that James was not happy when Irving was absent from home matches because he had not been vaccinated against COVID-19.

To date, the "bearded god" has denied having a disagreement with Kyrie Irving, he said the reason for his departure was because his sacrifice was not rewarded and at least it did not go in a positive direction. I hope:

“I gave up my comfort zone, did everything I could to get out of Houston just for the sake of wanting to play with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. But as everyone has seen, it did not turn out as I personally and the team expected.

When things showed no signs of progress or change, I took it upon myself to aim for a better future for not only myself but my family as well."

The Brooklyn Nets lineup with a trio of Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving is one of the most disappointing super-teams in NBA history. That is the clearest proof that a strong team on paper does not mean achievements in reality.

And a year ago when Harden insisted on leaving, it turned out that he was not a "crazy guy" as many people call him because less than 12 months later, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant respectively were "crazy".
