Harden appears to be getting closer to the 76ers. Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Keith Pompey reported that the mainstream view of the league is that Harden will join the 76ers next season, he is willing to work with Embiid, and the Harden camp and the 76ers executives still maintain close ties.
According to reports, Harden is not opposed to joining hands with Embiid next season, and even willing. He believes his combination with Embiid can be successful. The 76ers believe that Harden's arrival will open up more space, and they like Harden very much. In addition, the Harden camp has a close relationship with the 76ers, and the 76ers shareholder Michael Rubin is even a close friend of Harden.
Because of this, the source famously said: "The current mainstream view in the league is that Harden will be a 76ers player next season." ”
In fact, at the end of 2021, there was news that the 76ers were reluctant to trade Ben Simmons, just to leave him in the 2022 offseason for Harden. This is a lament. Because as early as Harden just after the rocket at the end of 2020 to apply for a trade, the 76ers were close to bringing in Harden, Simmons was also told to pack some luggage to report to the rockets, but rocket boss Fertitta temporarily reversed the water and called off the trade, rumors that he did not believe in building a lineup around Simmons.
Today, the 76ers are still exchanging Harden for Simmons, but the transaction object has changed from the Rockets to the Nets.
Previously, Harden refused to renew his contract with the Nets in advance, hoping to jump out of the contract in the 2022 offseason, and now the nets are not ideal. Durant was injured, and Irving still refused to be vaccinated and could only become a "part-time player". And if the Nets miss this year's championship opportunity, various contradictions may always erupt, and the prospects for winning the championship in the future may not be very good. To this end, Harden also has to make an early withdrawal plan.
