Irving just said he got too many mixed messages and too little real talk and communication.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was coming in late into things, and I was told one thing and then told another thing, and then trade deadline comes up and now it\u2019s a whole different situation,\u201d Irving said. \u201cNow I\u2019m answering questions about what h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ened, or whether or not things could\u2019ve gone better or not. I don\u2019t have a timeline of whether or not things could have gone better or not.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought we were in a good swing. But everybody has their own visions starting off seasons, everybody has their own visions starting off their careers and ending their careers. If that\u2019s what James wanted, then I respect his decision and that\u2019s just what it is. I wish him nothing but peace and love. We have a great friendship, but it didn\u2019t work out. I wish things could have been communicated better for all of us as men, but hey, no hard feelings here with me or anyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/newspress-collage-21476578-1646883633453.png?w=1024\" alt=\"Kyrie Irving, James Harden and Kevin Durant\" class=\"wp-image-21476722\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/newspress-collage-21476578-1646883633453.png?w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/newspress-collage-21476578-1646883633453.png 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/newspress-collage-21476578-1646883633453.png?w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Kyrie Irving, James Harden and Kevin Durant<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images (3)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Multiple sources said Harden consistently told the Nets everything was fine, but let his disenchantment be known outside the team. And he confirmed at last month\u2019s introductory 76ers press conference that Irving\u2019s refusal to get vaccinated (and thus become a full-time player) played a role.<\/p>\n<p>Irving felt Harden could\u2019ve been clearer with the team about how he felt, but also took some responsibility in the situation \u2014 in terms of communication, not vaccination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s organization, so all of us communicating. We\u2019re all responsible for it,\u201d Irving said. \u201cIt\u2019s great for the league to build up things like this, but we have a group in our locker room where we just want to be mature going into Philly, handling business and moving on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Durant echoed the sentiment of moving on. He also said he\u2019s not certain there\u2019s anything that could\u2019ve convinced Harden to stay long term.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d Durant said. \u201cWhen you look at it from his perspective, and you look up and Ky\u2019s not playing, and then I\u2019m injured, he hasn\u2019t won a championship before so he\u2019s looking at \u2014 he\u2019s 32 years old, I guess \u2014 he\u2019s looking at himself, wanting to make a decision to get on a team that can kind of get into that contending, being one of the last teams standing.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>\u201cSo if you look at it from his perspective, you could say it is what it is. You can\u2019t really control how somebody feels when they\u2019re thinking like that. Hopefully he stays healthy and their team stays healthy, we stay healthy, we have a great year, they have a great year, and we just move on from this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harden didn\u2019t speak at Wednesday\u2019s practice. Sixers coach Doc Rivers said, \u201cIt\u2019s obviously a different <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> with what\u2019s gone on.\u201d He added this <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> has had a little extra on the court even before the trade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019ll be a different feeling to play against him soon after the trade, but exciting,\u201d Nets coach Steve Nash said.<\/p>\n<p>Durant channeled a been-there, done-that vibe regarding facing Harden. He said there was a time he would\u2019ve been extra excited to face a recently traded teammate, but now he just wants the victory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was younger, 22, 23, you see a guy that just got traded and your emotions are everywhere. You don\u2019t know how you\u2019re going to approach the game, because it feels like a big game because you\u2019re playing against one of your former teammates,\u201d Durant said. \u201cBut it is what it is. It\u2019s just another game for us. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re looking to win and they\u2019re looking to win. \u2026 I know James was here and he built some relationships with a couple people here, but at the end of the day we\u2019re looking to go out there and hoop.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
