As the Brooklyn Nets' big three of Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving continue to work on building their on-court chemistry, Irving and Harden had a brief conversation at practice this week to clarify their roles.

"We established that maybe four days ago now," Irving said after the Nets' 134-117 win over the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. "I just looked at him, and I said, 'You're the point guard, and I'm going to play shooting guard.' That was as simple as that."

Irving described the conversation as concise and matter-of-fact.

"It's not a mystical conversation that we had," Irving said.

James is a more natural playmaker and Kyrie is good moving off the ball. I think it makes sense for them and it makes sense to define/clarify roles.
2021 Houston Rockets
PG: Kyrie Irving/Patty Mills/Jalen Brunson
SG: OG Anunoby/Norman Powell/Matisse Thybulle
SF: Gordon Hayward/Demar Derozan
PF: Giannis Antetokounmpo/Robert Covington
C: Kristaps Porzingis/Bobby Portis/James Wiseman
