When the Nets signed James Harden and joined Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in a superplantilla, it gave the impression that it was another case of a rich team that wanted to be richer.However, over time the operation could be due to other causes...of need.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the distrust of the Nets with Irving comes from behind and has not exploded now with the vaccine issue.Brooklyn, somehow, already felt that he could not go to war with his star base and that's why they went for Harden.Now, a few days to start the regular league, they are more aware than ever that Irving does not count on the short -term plans and the team is already preparing for a future without it.

With the regular league there are no signs that 'Uncle Drew' will get vaccinated.For the NETs the ballot is tremendous because they will have a star without being able to play but they cannot transfer, because nobody wants a player so expensive that he will be sitting in many or all the games.

The idea that Woj raises is that the day Nets signed Harden turned Irving into expendable.But it goes further: that is precisely what Irving seems to pursue, to be expendable.

Before the pandemic and even before Harden arrived, the problems with Irving already existed.And they came standard.He had them in the cavs when he demanded a transfer, he had them in the Celtics with an abrupt way out.And in his first year in Brooklyn, losing many games for 'personal reasons' that never transcended.

The Nets, who pursue the ring, found a single star, Durant, so all their efforts turned into the hiring of 'The beard'.Now everything indicates that the team will have to go to battle without irving in a situation that will be practically impossible to redirect.Therefore, Harden, more than a luxury as it was cataloged then, was a necessity.
