On January 25, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued. After the loss to the Timberwolves, the Nets need to play back-to-back home games against the Lakers and Nuggets, because Irving can not play in the home game, Durant is injured again, leaving Harden alone to support, which is a sad thing. Moreover, Harden has averaged 37 minutes per game this season, ranking second in the league, which is also a sad thing. Is Nash really fit to be the head coach of a championship-winning team?
Without rules, without tactics, without suspension, without control, can such a manager lead the team to victory? We don't know what the Nets management really thinks, but this season is likely to be the final season of the Big Three. Once the championship fails, dissolution is an inevitable result, and there is no room for redemption. Goodbye Nets, goodbye Irving! Famous: Harden is willing to join forces with the emperor! Simmons is a bargaining chip this summer.
Goodbye Nets, goodbye Irving
In fact, the Nets' group of 3 giants can play for a long time, at least 3 years. Just before the season began, Harden had agreed to a three-year, $160 million contract extension for the Nets. However, Owen's "vaccine incident" directly delayed the renewal of the contract, and in the end, the two sides did not reach an agreement. Therefore, Irving's decision has caused rifts in the Big 3 and created the preconditions and conditions for a breakup. Although Irving has returned and can play away games, he has made it clear that he will never be vaccinated, which is not in his own consideration.
Goodbye, dear Owen! No matter how hard Durant tried, he couldn't change his mind. The Nets' problem wasn't just Irving's, there were other problems, but it was a fuse that, once ignited, couldn't be extinguished.
Notable: Harden is willing to join forces with the Emperor
Harden originally refused the Rockets' 2-year, $100 million extension and resolutely came to the Nets with only one purpose: to win the championship. However, when he feels that he can't achieve his goal here, it is better to change teams. Which team to go to? Without hesitation, the Philadelphia 76ers are the best choice and a good place to go.
In fact, the 76ers' connection with Harden lasted more than a year. Just today, there is a strong news coming, making us feel that this matter is going to become a reality. Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Keith Pompey reported that its sources reveal that the Harden camp maintains close ties with the management of the 76ers, and the 76ers shareholder Michael Rubin is a friend of Harden's. At the same time, the 76-person operation president is Mo Fatzi, who has a good personal relationship with Harden.
According to NBA reporter Keith Pompey, multiple sources revealed that Harden is happy to play with Embiid, and he believes that playing with Embiid can be successful.
Simmons is a bargaining chip this summer
Speaking of Harden, we have to mention Ben Simmons, why did the 76ers not trade for a long time? In fact, they are waiting for Harden's news before they are willing to send Ben Simmons away. According to the name: The 76ers plan to keep Simmons and then make a first-and-last deal with the Nets this summer about Harden & Bency.
The Nets are aware of Harden's close ties to the 76ers, so they are also doing their best to keep Harden and hope that he can complete the contract extension. Therefore, whether or not to win the championship this season has become particularly important, and if it wins the championship, the Big 3 will still play together. As long as the championship fails, Harden will not return, reach a maximum salary contract with the 76ers, and attack the championship with the emperor. Several celebrities revealed that Harden believes he can achieve similar success around Embiid as he did in the Rockets.
