The Brooklyn Nets acquiring James Harden has been the hottest rumor this NBA trade season.
Just a few days ago, ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins revealed that Harden had been pushing the team to trade him to Brooklyn so that he can team up with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.

The sources have been telling me that James Harden could possibly be joining the Brooklyn Nets with KD and Kyrie Irving or the Philadelphia 76ers.
Russell Westbrook’s problem was like if you got plans on leaving you’re not going to leave me stuck here. So Rusell Westbrook got ahead of the curve because these rumors we’re hearing about James possibly teaming up with KD and Kyrie have some truth to it.
On Saturday afternoon, Sports Illustrated NBA writer Farbod Esnaashari says he’s hearing the Nets have a proposed trade package in place for Hatden and the the deal could be finalized in about a week’s time.
A source is telling me that the Nets have engaged in talks with the Rockets. James Harden for a variation of: Spencer Dinwiddie, Caris LeVert, Taurean Prince, and Jarrett Allen.
Nothing finalized, but Harden to Nets seems like real possibility. If finalized, announced on Nov 22.

Mind you, I never do these things. This is what I'm hearing right now though good intel. But we'll see what the future holds

It is worth noting that Harden has publicly denied that he wants to be traded by the team.
Houston's James Harden remains committed to the Rockets and is "locked in" for the season, sources tell @KellyIkoNBA and me.
