<p>Well, it finally happened. <strong>James Harden</strong> was traded away from the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/houston-rockets-t102082" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <strong>Houston Rockets</strong></a> and recently made his debut with the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/brooklyn-nets-t99901" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brooklyn Nets</a>, </strong>giving the rest of the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA </strong></a>a glimpse of how terrifying they’re going to be from now on.</p>
<p>Harden was thrown into the mix right away and played big minutes, and as all superstars do, he made a huge impact in the blink of an eye. Clearly, he hasn’t missed a beat since he stopped playing <strong>next to Kevin Durant.</strong></p>
<p>The Beard and KD completely torched the <strong>Orlando Magic</strong> and were an incredible two-man show in last night’s matchup, leading Brooklyn to an easy 122-115 win and leaving quite a solid first impression.</p>

<h2>Steve Nash Teases James Harden After Debut With The Brooklyn Nets</h2>
<p>Harden did a little bit of everything during his first game as a Net, scoring <strong>32 points on 8/18 with 12 rebounds, 14 assists, 4 steals, 1 block, 3 three-pointers, and 9 turnovers.</strong> Ironically, it seems like the last stat was the one that impressed coach <strong>Steve Nash</strong> the most.</p>

<p>So, when talking about his debut, Nash jokingly addressed that situation by friendly teasing his new star:<strong></strong><em><strong>“Well, he stuffed the stat sheet! Wow, almost a quadruple-double! He’s a world-class basketball player,”</strong></em> Nash said after the game.</p>

<p>Needless to say, the former <strong>Phoenix Suns </strong>star later took his time to laud Harden for his game and the impact he made right away:</p>

<p></p>
<p><em><strong>“I can’t say I’m surprised,” </strong></em>Nash said. <em>“We had a pretty big simple size of him doing that [for] however many years in he’s been in the league. But it’s still not easy. He’s still not in his best condition yet, he’s joined a new group.<strong> Basically no practice time, and figured it out on the fly.</strong> He had a bunch of turnovers just because he’s new to the team and the group and you’re thrown out there in an NBA where the other team is an excellent-coached basketball team. (…) But all the things he did on the floor were incredible for his first game,</em>” Nash concluded.</p>

<p></p>
<p>The Brooklyn Nets may have lost some depth with this trade but once <strong>Kyrie Irving </strong>is back on the court, they’re going to have one of the most impressive offensive juggernauts in league history. They just need to add a couple of veterans and they might as well end up winning their first-ever NBA championship.</p>

<p>Ever since the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/brooklyn-nets-t99901" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Brooklyn Nets</strong></a> signed <strong>DeAndre Jordan</strong> last year, people around the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> started wondering whether they were going to trade away <strong>Jarrett Allen</strong> or if Jordan was going to serve as his mentor.</p>
<p>Fast-forward to today and both are having a bit of a timeshare at the center position, but the rumors claim that Jordan wasn’t happy with <strong>his role as a reserve </strong>last season and that’s the reason why he’s the starter right now.</p>
<p>It’s not a secret that the reason why DeAndre Jordan signed with the Nets in the first place is that he’s close friends with <strong>Kyrie Irving and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/kevin-durant-t139314" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin Durant.</a></strong> In fact, they even took a paycut to be able to lure him in.</p>

<h2>Steve Nash Knows There Could Be Drama Between DeAndre Jordan And Jarrett Allen</h2>
<p>And, considering that Irving and Durant’s opinions have a lot of weight in the locker room – like it happened with <strong>Kenny Atkinson’s </strong>firing – new coach <strong>Steve Nash</strong> knows that he must find a way for both to coexist:</p>
<p><em>“A bit of everything. He definitely has that relationship with Ky and Kevin. He has that experience as the older player. Caris (LeVert) and JA also have good chemistry. So, it’s a bit of everything. It’s just not something I’m belaboring. Jarrett’s going to play a lot. I love him on the floor. <strong>I want to be very careful not to make it like a mini-drama because it’s not,</strong>” </em>Nash told The New York Post.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-8">      <span class="item first"></span>   <span class="item second"></span>   <span class="item third"></span>  </div>
<p></p></div>
<p><em>“They both play. JA has been outstanding and will play plenty, if not the bulk of the minutes, but for right now, <strong>he’s just playing those minutes from the second unit</strong>. He closed the game against Atlanta (on Wednesday). I just don’t want it to become some sort of thing where we’re pitting our own guys against each other because I think the group has got a pretty good vibe right now,” </em>he concluded.</p>
<p>Jarrett Allen is younger and has a higher upside than DeAndre Jordan right now. Also, he’s making the most of his minutes right now with averages of <strong>9.6 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game on 63% shooting and 22.9 minutes per game.</strong></p>
<p>DeAndre Jordan, on the other hand, is averaging roughly<strong> 4.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in 19.0 minutesper game</strong> and has looked far from the top-notch rim protector he was in his prime.</p>
