The Long-Awaited System Slam

When it came to choosing their next destination, Harden had made the most bad choices, while Westbrook had suffered the worst consequences from his choices.

In that regard, Durant's decision had turned out relatively well.

Of course, that was only compared to those two guys~~

Harden's trade request had sent shock waves through the league as soon as it was announced, drawing everyone's attention.

But obviously, a blockbuster trade like this couldn't be completed in a short time.

Unless the Rockets Team had planned for it well in advance.

Judging by the current situation, though, they didn't seem to be prepared...

Talk about a complete reversal.

This time, they were the ones caught off guard by Harden's "Step-back"~~

After thinking it over for a moment, Chen finally caught on. He turned to Jerebko.

"James is a great player. Leaving Houston might not be a bad thing for him. If he can join a strong team and mesh well with them... guys, we might have another tough opponent on our hands."

"That doesn't sound like something you'd say, Chris."

"You know me. I've always been a very humble person. Besides, I only said we might have another tough opponent. I didn't say we couldn't beat them. Don't we already have plenty of tough opponents? Are you guys scared?"

"Hahahaha, that's more like it!! Of course not!!!"

"But what Chris said could actually happen, guys. I've already seen Brooklyn making an offer."

"Huh? Brooklyn??! What are they giving up? PG? They're willing to go that far?"

"No, Walker, Allen, and draft picks."

"...You know, that might actually work."

"Brooklyn isn't out of the question. KD's there, after all, and James might not mind reuniting with him. And if they don't even have to give up PG, that team would be seriously scary."
