The NBA trade deadline (Thursday at 3 p.m. ET) is looming, and Steve Nash made it clear the Nets have no plans to trade James Harden. When asked if the team is going to trade the superstar guard, the Nets head coach responded this way...
Nash thus becomes the first Nets official to go on the record saying the Nets don’t plan or want to trade Harden. This comes in the face of conflicting reports from Adrian Wojnarowski and Shams Charania on whether Harden is even available in trade talks.
When asked about his conversations with Harden, Nash said his superstar point guard has made it clear he wants to be in Brooklyn long-term, and his absence isn’t related to the trade deadline approaching.
