It’s no secret that the Nets have had internal discussions about James Harden, though coach Steve Nash said that GM Sean Marks hasn’t spoken to him about the possibility of bringing the former MVP to Brooklyn.
“I haven’t had any conversations about him,” Nash said. “So, you know, we definitely work in close proximity. I haven’t any conversations or any alerts, so maybe that says it all.”
Harden originally had the Nets atop his preferred wish list, though that list seems to be ever-expanding with the Celtics among teams he’d be comfortable with a trade to.
