Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James seems to be as focused and locked in as ever.
In fact, when he was asked about the blockbuster James Harden deal that took place on Wednesday, James didn’t have much, if anything, to say about what he thought about the deal.
LeBron shares his reaction (or lack of it) to the fact that James Harden was traded to the Nets: “It really doesn’t have a big reaction. … The negotiations took place today and I couldn’t let him know that we had a game we had to play tonight. ” pic.twitter.com/hjceBOUuKD

Harden demanded that the Houston Rockets negotiate it in early November. Some teams, like the Miami Heat and the Philadelphia 76ers, would have been interested in it, but nothing materialized.
In the end, Harden was dealt with for the only team he wanted to deal with all the time – the Brooklyn Nets. This will create a meeting between him and Kevin Durant, who were teammates for several years at the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Together, they took Thunder to the 2012 NBA Finals, where they lost to James’ Miami Heat.
If the meeting goes well, perhaps Harden and Durant will face James again for the NBA championship this summer.
However, a black cloud remains over the Nets in the form of Kyrie Irving and his mysterious absence from the team.
