In addition to speaking on the dysfunction within the Brooklyn Nets organization that led to his departure, Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden opened up about what was a failed super-team with himself, Kevin Durant, and Kyrie Irving.

"Frustrating," Harden said of the Big Three Nets era. "There’s a lot of what-ifs. I think we only played less than 20 games together so it was a little bit frustrating, but it is what it is. Hopefully, everybody’s in a good place now and we can move on."

On the Kyrie Irving drama, Harden said, "That’s not something I’m gonna answer, but the reason I made that decision to get out of my comfort zone which was leave Houston and do everything that I did to get out of there, was to come here and play with KD and Kyrie. With that being said, that didn’t happen as much as I would have liked to or how much the organization would have wanted to... For me, I just had to make an individual decision for the betterment of my family and my career and what I wanted and that’s what happened."

Finally, Harden said, "It was a lot. I enjoyed my time. Obviously, playing with KD and Kyrie for those games. There’s a lot of possibilities of what could happen, but it’s a part of life. I’m sure everybody’s in a better place, a good place, and here we are."
