13 wins and 3 losses! I understand Harden s departure, Irving talks about the Nets situation in 22 years

3:42am, 29 July 2025Basketball

Irving recently started a personal live broadcast and talked about some details when he was with the Nets. At that time, the team formed the Big Three combination of Harden, Durant and Irving. Unfortunately, this invincible combination played in 16 games and achieved a record of 13 wins and 3 losses. The biggest problem of the three is that they are being disturbed by various inexplicable factors. There is nothing to say about his strength. Harden was traded to the Nets in 21. He and Irving led the team to a 88% winning rate in one month after Durant was injured and won the best month. After

, Durant returned, Harden had a hamstring strain, but he still returned before the playoffs. When facing the Celtics in the first round, Harden played an all-time first-round efficiency, proving that his teammates were strong enough, he could perform efficiently. Harden serves, Irving scores, Durant ends. When neither of these two people are accurate, Harden stands up again. This is the perfect Big Three model. But his fate was not good, Harden suffered a second-degree hamstring strain on the Bucks G1 in a few seconds. Irving was also plagued by the

, which led to Durant's attack on both sides and Harden had to force his comeback. Irving said in the live broadcast that Harden actually didn't have to make a comeback at that time, which was a huge risk. They can wait until the second year to compete, after all, this group is not old. But Irving didn't expect that the vaccine problem would make them difficult for the next year. In addition, Durant made a mistake, which was to support his friend Nash as the head coach.

Irving said that he came to the Nets and Durant to form a team. Even if he couldn't play in the first year, the two just wanted to cooperate, and the partner he was not Nash, and he was not in the plan. But Durant wants Nash, and Irving said he can only agree, after all, this is your person. Irving also regrets Harden's departure in the second year. If Harden doesn't leave, Irving can return to the game without getting vaccinated later. The destructive power of the three giants combined is definitely higher than that of Harden and Embiid in the 76ers.

Irving said: "If we were not injured, we might have won multiple championships. It is obvious that we are strong, but we only cooperated with 16 games. In 21, I was injured, and then Harden was injured. If Durant won the final score later, I have a chance to come back, and maybe the situation is different. The next year, our team was in chaos, and Harden chose to leave the Nets. I understand that. He made the most favorable choice. I hope that one day the three of us can sit down and have a good talk."

Irving said that, one month after Harden's trade was completed, the ban was cancelled. In addition, Irving also admitted the fact that the Nets wanted to renew Durant and Harden, but did not want to give him a contract. After Harden's hamstring strain in 21 years, the Nets wanted to renew his contract with Durant and Harden at the same time. Durant renewed his contract first because Harden said he would stay in the team for a long time, but to be safe, the Nets still offered Harden a three-year contract of 163 million to avoid long nights and dreams. Harden refused, and his reply was that he wanted to wait until the 22-year offseason to renew the contract with a longer term. But I didn't expect that the 22-year change was so big that the Nets and Nash's coaching successfully forced Harden away.

Later, Harden was cheated of 76ers and was not given a maximum salary. If he did it again, Harden would definitely choose to stay in the Nets. Because Durant and Irving cannot play, Harden can also give up 22 years of recovery. When the two brothers are completely recovered, the Nets will make another move in the 22-23 season. Or if I don’t leave for 22 years, I will wait for Irving to come back, and the power of the three of them will be strong. It was obvious that Harden and Durant led the team to second place in the Eastern Conference that season. When Irving was able to play, it was obvious that the Nets were terrible. Especially when the Bulls Irving played, Sharp was fed by Harden and the three giants in a joint match showed this, Harden also said he wanted to give Irving an injection.
