However, not everyone is optimistic about this combination, even an anonymous person inside the Nets revealed that they were worried about Harden's joining, and some even said they would not support the deal. Even Ray Allen suggested that the Nets should not be traded for Harden, because it is difficult for him to coexist with the two cores in the team.
Ray Allen: It will be very difficult for them to work together. From the perspective of personal strength, they are very strong, but in the game, there will be a lot of problems, and serious cases will affect their relationship. This is the most difficult thing. For me, joining the Celtics in 2008 to win the championship is the hardest moment I have ever experienced. When I was in Seattle, I could take 18 or 19 shots a game, but with the Celtics, I could only take 8 or 9 shots a game.
If you are a team determined to win, this is your responsibility and the sacrifice you must make. For Harden, the Nets already have an Owen who can control the ball. They must make adjustments and assume their respective responsibilities. If they are willing to make their own sacrifices, then the team will definitely be very good. But if they can't do it, it will be like a train derailing.
In fact, Ray Allen sued the Nets as an overcomer. This pair is not weak, but the most important problem to be solved is how to distribute the ball. To know how the three of them play, they all require a lot of ball rights.
If they lose due to ball rights issues in a formal game, if this continues for a long time, the team will always be injured, and the pair will also face dissolution in the future. Of course, this is just the worst guess. Maybe they really put the interests of the team first and everyone makes concessions. Such a Nets team may become terrible.
