January 26 news, today the Nets will be at home to meet the Lakers, it is worth mentioning that because Durant is absent, Irving can not play at home, so Harden today is going to start the single-core combat mode again. In addition, although the Lakers side is also difficult brothers, but the good guys have James and Wei Shao, and the thick eyebrows are also planned to play today, so there is still a big gap in the paper strength of the two teams. More critically, on the eve of the Lakers' Nets battle, BR reporter Jake Fisher exposed Harden's news, saying that he was dissatisfied with both Irving and Nash and would explore leaving Brooklyn this summer.
According to BR reporter Jake Fisher, Harden has expressed to the Nets and close friends that he is very dissatisfied with Irving's current part-time status. In addition, head coach Nash has not yet fixed a starting lineup and rotation, and only likes to end the game with hand-hot players, and does not have a fixed lineup to play key moments, which also makes Harden feel frustrated. In addition, the reporter also revealed that compared to the current situation, Harden misses the feeling of being a tycoon in Houston, and he does not like to live in Brooklyn, in addition to climate reasons, the tax gap is also very obvious.
In fact, in recent times, rumors about Harden's departure from the team have been endless, especially after Durant's injury. Yesterday, the Philadelphia media broke the news that Harden has been in contact with the 76ers management and is also good friends with the 76ers shareholders, so this summer may be the best opportunity to join the 76ers. Now the mainstream view in the league is that Harden will be a 76er next season. At the beginning of the season, the Nets gave Harden a 3-year early contract extension, but Harden did not sign. Next year his contract is a player option, when he can go multiple ways, either to renew his contract, or to leave the team freely, or to sign first and then change.
Personally, I think that on the eve of the big war, rumors of Harden's departure and news of pressure on management are not a bad thing. Harden joined the Nets at his peak with the insult of "perfidy" in order to win the championship quickly. But now the problem is more difficult, last year OuDu and the two could not be full attendance, Harden alone carried the team forward, Irving retired from the playoffs, Harden himself was tired, and the chance to win the championship was gone. This season, Irving is not injured, Durant's injuries are full of hidden dangers, Nash's coaching is also quite slotted, and the prospect of winning the championship is still slim. Therefore, now rumors of Harden's departure from the team can also be regarded as putting pressure on Irving and management to see if there can be some action! When Harden really didn't say a word, there was no room for negotiation on the renewal of the contract.
