Kyrie Irving has dropped the bombshell about the James Harden–Ben Simmons trade! It’s got the basketball world buzzing, and everyone is trying to figure out what went on behind the scenes.
According Irving;
“It shocked a lot of people. It shocked me. S***, I was talking to James one day and I’m like s*** bro we about to go win these championships and it was like a day later, asked for a trade. I understood completely,” Irving said during a live stream on Twitch.
Irving added that he was unaware of the “landscape” of where Simmons was in his career, as he turned out to be a major letdown for the Nets. Eventually, Harden would get traded from the Philadelphia 76ers and join the Los Angeles Clippers, where he is now. As for Simmons, his Nets tenure was a disaster, eventually being bought out and joining the Clippers as well this past season.
NBA trades are always full of surprises, so it’s understandable how Kyrie got shocked about the trade. It’s all business and nothing more!
