That's gonna be a big three for Brooklyn.

That what are we talking about there?

Would you even do with that?

But first, So that's Brooklyn in the East that this trade happened.

Let's start here that it happened today that it had to happen today.

A direct result off hardens comments last night and everyone in the franchises reaction to that.

I mean, DaMarcus Cousins was the voice of professionalism and reason throughout all of this.

He wasn't a lot of practice today, but now that it has happened, Jorge Sedano around the horn to you.

What are these?

Brooklyn Nets with James Harden?

Well, they're the front runner to win the Eastern Conference.

I don't think there's any question about that, Tony.

If you look at those three guys, there's not a a better Big Three.

Maybe in all of the sport, let alone in the Eastern Conference.

So you let's take a look at just what they have to deal with.

Now the questions will arise.

Are there enough balls for them to all play together and that is a really legitimate conversation that needs to be had.

It is something that Steve Nash and Mike D'Antoni and all of them will have to figure out and will probably take sleepless nights to figure out.

I remember covering a team with multiple stars, a trio, in fact, of Wade, LeBron and Bosch, who everyone claimed would have similar issues.

And, yes, at times they did.

It's gonna be messy for the Brooklyn Nets, but ultimately stars win in this league, Tony.

And if you're gonna win these air three of the best stars you can have you have to top five or six players in Durant and Harden.

You've got Kyrie Irving, who is easily a Top 10 player if he's on the floor and actually playing the game.

And then when you on the flip side of that for Philly, I wonder how much of this was.

They were never as in Houston, never going to trade him to Philadelphia, because that's what Daryl Morey wanted.

And they're still upset about the fact that Maury left and said he would take a sabbatical and it lasted, like, six minutes before he ended up with the Philadelphia 76 or so they were gonna try to tax him.

We're gonna put a bookmark in that for a second.

But also I love and also that I was going for the world record in points.

I love the idea.

So the big three you covered in Miami?

Yes, LeBron Wade and Bosch on the basketball court, they had to settle through some issues.

This is not just on the basketball court.

You're dealing with Irving and Harden personalities and the rent that I mean the likes of which I don't even know.

It's a rookie head coach.

Let's bring in Tim Cowlishaw.

You're a veteran presence on this show.

What did Brooklyn just dio?

I love the Sedano enthusiasm that briefly got him up to about 15 points before you came to your senses.

Uh, yeah.

I mean, they have great talent.

There's no question, is that, anyway, that's a good fit.

I think Kevin Durant's gonna be standing around like this.

A lot of games were going.

When is the ball coming over here?

Kyrie and Harden wanna have it the whole time now they may figure it out this season.

I don't know if it will happen that quickly.

It doesn't always go that quickly and This is a very different James Harden than the one who played with Kevin Durant nine or 10 years ago.

He wants the ball all the time.

So you know it's fabulous.

Uh, you know, to to see them to see these, how these three work together.

And but I think they're a long way from being the top team in the East.

Emily Kaplan, Tim with all due respect, and I'm afraid that's gonna be afraid, that's going to be Oh, Lay and Curry.

He's used to not having the ball.

You know, George brought up a great point.

There's something I've learned about this league.

It is the Petty League, and I really do feel like they dangled Philly out there just to put a middle finger to Daryl Morey.

But I do think that Philly made out great in this.

They dodged a bullet.

If you watched that game last night, Joyal and Bead to me made an M V P case.

He looked lethargic At first.

The team didn't look great.

All of a sudden, he turned it on and refused to lose in the second game of a back to back.

They need to go full score with a team that they have, and they don't need the drama that is James Harden, the drama that is James Harden.

Let's just sit in that for a second.

Kevin Blackistone, Because I know what he did yesterday at the podium after the game and how he basically, you know, said goodbye and the way it was taken by the franchise today was something that was really burning you even before this trade happened.

So you could sit in that or you could go after the Brooklyn Nets.

Now, go ahead, Kevin.

Well, yeah, and I've got to start with that because he threw his teammates under the bus talking about the chemistry problems that they have.

Well, he's the chemical in that chemistry that made it a problem.

And then to say that they didn't have any talent.

They just got John Wall, who I think was an All Star in this league and has been doing all he can to come back from injury to play again in this league.

DeMarcus cousins, the same kind of thing threw him under the bus, and so now he goes to Brooklyn.

So what happens to James Harden in Brooklyn.

He's not gonna be the man.

Let's be, Let's be clear about this.

That is Kevin Durant's team.

Kevin Durant is the one with multiple championships.

Kevin Durant is the team player, so he's gonna have to settle under Kevin Durant.

And also, let's not forget Kyrie Irving.

Say what you want to, but he was a big game winner in an MBA Finals.

That's something that James Harden has yet to do.

We've talked about him disappearing in the postseason, so he's gonna have a lot to live up to.

And, man, I feel sorry for Steve Nash having toe handle these three person believe it's something he's gonna be able to handle.

I don't I don't know.

I mean, we don't know because Steve Nash hasn't coached.

I mean, this is a This is a horrible situation for rookie coach.

Forget the player right now.

This is the first time he has run an N b A team, and he's got to do it with Kyrie Irving and James Harden.

Good luck.

All right.

So no one is as bullish as Jorge Sedano is on the net.

You call them the best team in the East now you can come back in Georgia.

Yeah, I do think that.

And look, I understand what Kevin's point is, but here's the situation.

Harden doesn't have to be the best player on this team, and he's had shortcomings because he's had to be the best player.

That is no longer the case with Kevin Durant on this roster, and I know people can point back to 2012 when he was the sixth man and he had a tough finals against LeBron Wade and Bosch and those guys.

But we're eight years removed.

This is a completely different James Harden than we saw in 2012.

So I actually think this could be an opportunity where he can flourish because he has that experience of playing with Kevin Durant and because he doesn't have to be the best player anymore.

But the James Harden that is existing now is a completely different James Harden.

He is the man or he thinks of himself as the man, and I just can't see him going to Brooklyn and all of a sudden going okay, I'm gonna ride in the back seat, don't see it happening.

What?

But why?

Why would he want to get traded to Brooklyn if he Because there's no way you you're you're James Harden.

There's no way you're getting traded to Brooklyn and thinking you're the man.

You know that Kevin Durant is the best player.

There are no discussions about.
