Irving: Harden s departure is just doing the most beneficial thing for him. He has to consider what contract he will get next

Recently, Irving talked about his experience with the Nets in a live broadcast.

He said: "When we exchanged James Harden for Ben Simmons, I felt that we didn't know Simmons' situation at that time, right? We didn't know how he was. So when that deal was completed, many people were shocked, and I was the same. One day I talked to James and I said, 'Brother, we're going to win the championship.' As a result, one day after that, he applied for a deal. I was like, 'Oh, okay, okay.'"

"I won't be angry. I will never do anything to myself because others did it. Being angry about the most favorable thing, right? You have to pay tribute to James. I talked to him and I said to him, ‘Brother, I fully understand, I understand the decision you made. I understand that the season is halfway through, and you are not sure about my situation, nor do you know what will happen next in your career, everything is happening, so it is normal for you to have questions. You will consider what kind of contract you can get, after all, we were all top-paid players at the time. Me, you and KD, all top-paid levels, we deserve the salary we are about to get, right? ’”
