LAS VEGAS — James Harden completed his work at USA Basketball's national team minicamp, sat in a courtside chair and began to put together his assessment of what happened around the NBA this summer.
He did not need long to formulate his thoughts.
"Nothing that happens in the NBA surprises me anymore," the league's MVP and Houston star said.
Summer isn't over, but in the NBA spending sense, it's winding down. About $2 billion in deals have been made in the last four weeks, not to mention a few trades. But with the biggest names who were available in free agency staying put for the most part, most of the players who were in Las Vegas for the national team camp this week seemed to agree with Harden.
