Nets lose No. 3 pick to Rockets via James Harden deal; Here's what comes next
The NBA Draft lottery in Chicago left many Nets fans sucking their teeth. The Atlanta Hawks, a team that qualified for the league's Play-In Tournament with a 36-46 record in the Eastern Conference this season, emerged as the biggest winners and will be on the clock first at Barclays Center on June 26. The Washington Wizards (15-67) will pick second, followed by the Houston Rockets (41-41), and that is where the latest outpour of frustration in Brooklyn emanates from. The Nets went 32-50 this season, missed the playoffs and just hired a first-year head coach in Jordi Fernandez.

James Harden's Former Star Teammate Gets Honest About Failed Partnership
When Dwight Howard joined the Houston Rockets, many felt the duo of him and James Harden would be one of the best in basketball. Howard was an All-Star his first season in Houston, but those teams were never able to make an NBA Finals run. During a recent appearance on the OGs podcast, Howard got honest about this failed partnership with Harden. “I think Daryl [Morey] didn't really like me and James together for some odd reason because I was always known as a dynamic roller in the pick-and-roll with whoever guard it was,” Howard said.
