How do you think Durant said in an interview that he would not consider Harden as a Nets player?

Durant said in an interview that he would not consider whether Harden is a Nets player. The reason is the exchange price, whether the team will release people, and the Nets' current ability to compete for the championship.

First, Harden's value was exchanged from the Thunder Sixth Man for the Rockets, and Harden created great value in the team. He not only led the team into the playoffs many times, but also entered the West. Although he was finally defeated by the Warriors, he was also the scoring champion of the team and broke the playoff record again and again. At present, Harden is the cornerstone of the team, and his ability is beyond doubt, which also leads to the very high price he wants to exchange. From six-for-one heavy-browed Davis and six-for-one chris paul, we know that the price of a soul-class team star is very high.

From the perspective of Nets players, the Rockets must exchange a capable star or young player+draft pick. Will the Nets let Owen go? Durant could not let Owen go for Harden because he came to the Nets. What about young players+draft picks? Forget the draft pick. Let's talk about players first. There must be Levell and Dinwiddie in the Nets who are capable and interchangeable. There must be some of these two people, and then add some other players. If they are all changed, the depth of the bench will definitely not be enough. Therefore, it is still under consideration whether the exchange price value is worth it. Durant must have considered it.

Second, whether the team will let Harden go will definitely make the team's playoff tickets in doubt, and then it will also cause the loss of comparative tickets. For Fisher, who is careful and avoids luxury tax every year, it is impossible. Let go of a Harden, and you lose your economic income. Moreover, other teams may not be able to provide the same proportion of fees in their view, so the Rockets will certainly not let people go easily. Harden's contract, Wall's exchange and Cousins' signing all indicate that the Rockets will not let Harden go easily this season.

Third, the current ability of the Nets to compete for the championship. The Nets currently have star Owen, and Durant's own toughness is also good. Together with young Leavell, experienced Dinwiddie and top center Jordan, their ability to compete for the championship this season is still very good. Last season's basketball lacked Owen and Durant, and they were able to enter the top eight in the East. Now we have Durant and Owen. Their ability to compete for the championship is beyond doubt.

Therefore, Durant will definitely not consider the media interview about Harden at present. There are indications that Harden is unlikely to come to the Nets, so no matter how much consideration is necessary, it is better to seize the time to play a good game and win the championship this season.
