Magic Johnson took to Twitter and reacted to the blockbuster trade of James Harden to the Brooklyn Nets.
Johnson noted it will be special to watch Harden, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant play together for the Nets. However, he still believes the Lakers will win the championship this season.
“James Harden getting traded to the Brooklyn Nets to join KD and Kyrie will be special to watch… but I’m still picking the Lakers to win the Championship,” Magic Johnson tweeted.
The first game between the Lakers and the Nets this season will take place on February 18.
