In the last

NBA final

we found two ways of doing things: the franchise that worked for years, got the draft right, trusted a second-tier league star, and took advantage of having an underrated coach on the bench, and the franchise that left everything for two megastars, accompanying them by role players who had to appear in the important moments of the games and strive in a defense perfectly built by their coach.

It was the

Miami Heat and the Los Angeles Lakers

.

Two ways of living, one would say.

They won the seconds, with

LeBron James and Anthony Davis

leading the way, but the Florida team, led by

Jimmy Butler

, inspired some franchises in the league who thought that you could only get to the top by one way.

There are the

Denver Nuggets

, a young and hard-working team, created from rounds of the draft and that stayed at the gates of the final this year.

There are the

Boston Celtics

, with three young stars out of the college team and with the lesson learned two years ago (Kyrie Irving) that not all megastars perform the same.

But, despite everything, many NBA managers continue to believe, and many with good reason, that the best option to conquer the ring is to

gather as many MVP candidates as possible

.

And if we look at the

last champions

of the ring, they are right: the Lakers with James and Davis, the Warriors with Durant, Curry and Klay Thompson, the Cavaliers of James, Love and Irving, the Heat of LeBron, Wade and Bosh, the Lakers of Kobe and Pau, of Kobe and O'Neal ... In between, the Spurs dynasty, created through the draft, and some 'flowers of a day' like the Toronto Raptors of 2019 led by Kawhi Leonard or the 2011 Dallas Mavericks, led by Nowitzki.

In general, statistics say that what works are the pairs or trios of megastars, and there arises the rumor of a transfer that has the world of basketball biting its nails these days.

Conversations that may end with

James Harden in the Brooklyn Nets alongside Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving

, according to ESPN.

The Rockets are in the process of restructuring after the departure of their General Manager,

Daryl Morey

, and after the transfer request of

Russell Westbrook

, their second star.

For this reason, and despite the (public) refusal of the current management to transfer Harden, the major media in the United States are beginning to report the succulent interest of half the league in 'La Barba'.

And in that ranking of suitors, at number 1 appears Brooklyn, with a pack of draft rounds and almost any piece available for the transfer:

Spencer Dinwiddie, Caris LeVert, Taurean Prince, Kurucs, Jarrett Allen

... The first two close All-Star level and the last two some of their most interesting young people.

According to acclaimed journalist Adrian Wojnarowski, the

Big Apple is Harden's favorite destination

.

The Brooklyn road and Harden's doubts

Last summer,

Durant and Irving accepted the Nets' offer

in free agency and prepared to try to win a ring in New York.

This season, the forward has not been able to play due to injury and the point guard, despite the start of the season, also suffered physical problems and was unable to help his team.

Brooklyn ended up making the playoffs, but it is this year that management and fans expect to be favorites to the ring.

The Nets have the example of the current

Clippers

.

On the basis, the squad with the best names in the competition, with

Kawhi Leonard and Paul George

as big stars.

On the track, the biggest disappointment of the season.

That's why

Durant, who just turned 32

and has been a blank season due to an injury at Achilles, knows he needs more help.

Irving recognizes that his attempts to be number 1 in a franchise have not gone well for him, and

Harden

knows that playing in the Eastern Conference could prevent him before the Finals clashes with the Lakers, Clippers or Nuggets, more powerful teams, a priori, than what can be found on your side of the picture.

In addition, the

bad experience with Westbrook

, the exit of Morey and the

doubts that there are in the Rockets about the planning that must be done in the short term

do not convince Harden, who turned

31

this summer and has only played one final of the season. NBA in his life,

in 2012 with the Thunder ... And with Kevin Durant as a teammate

.
