Magic vs Nets live stream reddit for James Harden’s BK debut
By Adam Weinrib
James Harden debuts for the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night. Here’s how to watch!
Well, Nets fans, it’s actually happening.
After months of speculation about how the team might be able to wrestle James Harden away from both the Houston Rockets and his former GM Daryl Morey in a hypothetical 76ers trade, Sean Marks surrendered Caris LeVert, Jarrett Allen, Taurean Prince, and a cavalcade of picks to bring The Beard to BK this week.
It only took a few days for Harden to report, and he’ll be kicking off his career not in the black and white, but in the Nets’ 1993 Petrovic throwbacks on Saturday night against the Magic.
And don’t worry. He arrived in style.
Even in a tumultuous start to the season in H-Town, Harden still averaged 24.8 points per game along with 10.4 assists, largely alienating his new teammates while still dominating.
His final game in a Rockets uniform ended with a masterclass in passive aggression in the postgame, which set off DeMarcus Cousins and served to finally sever nearly a decade’s worth of ties.
But Harden — who appeared, um, out of shape in his early-season competition, seems downright spry in a Nets uniform, proving that perhaps a change of scenery was the most necessary tonic of all.
Seriously, how is that possible?
Brooklyn, without Harden, is riding a modest two-game winning streak, taking down the Knicks at Madison Square Garden with Durant serving as the only participating member of the Big 3 in their most recent contest. Things should only get more effortless offensively from here, and it all begins against Nikola Vucevic, Aaron Gordon and Orlando.
