Sure enough, the Nets without Irving could not beat the Lakers with the Big Three, Harden once again tried his best to get a triple-double, but it did not help, it seems that whether or not this season can help the Nets win the championship, Harden should leave the Nets. The first is that Harden didn't renew his contract with the Nets in the offseason, which is a clear sign. The second is that Nash's use of him and the rotation lineup is very problematic, and the tired Harden will occasionally show some dissatisfaction, but Nash is in a stable position and basically will not leave class.
Therefore, some of the Nets' reliable trade rumors are not to reinforce the Big Three, but to actively seek to trade Harden. There is no happiness in barely going on, the Nets' big three may indeed not bring a championship, combined with Harden's intention to leave the team, making full use of Harden's value is a top priority. In other words, the Nets will basically stabilize the two cores of Durant and Irving, and then send Harden in exchange for more powerful ball rights and first-round picks, so that they will certainly not suffer losses.
Sources say the Nets have been quietly engaged in discussions with the 76ers, and the protagonist of the trade must be around Simmons and Harden. The only thing that is certain at the moment is that the two will not be directly interchanged, after all, Harden is far superior to the emotional Simmons in terms of influence, strength and status. For the 76ers, they have not lowered their requirements, and if Harden comes to shoot, it is the best ending, but the Nets may propose extremely harsh trading conditions. According to the trade plan, the Nets will only take Harden as a trade chip, but the 76ers will have to come up with Simmons, Sable, Seth Curry, Maxi or multiple first-round picks to match the deal.
Boldly expected, the 76ers are actually a bit of a heartbeat, at least an operation that kills two birds with one stone. Harden's joining the 76ers is justified, and according to the analysis of some media, several reasonable views have been drawn. First, Harden's goal is always to win the championship, does not want to be a championship-free hero like Iverson, and if he can form a big two with Embiid, the chances of winning the championship are far greater than staying at the Nets. Because Embiid has just begun his peak and has become the league's number one center, less than 28 years old, means there are more peak times.
Second, Harden doesn't like brooklyn as a city, where taxes and weather are major concerns, but in Philadelphia, he will meet multiple executive acquaintances and play in a more comfortable environment. The third is that Harden wants to get the real core position, not to be on an equal footing with Durant and Irving now, or even have less say. It can be said that Harden's multi-person transaction is very similar to when he joined the Lakers with thick eyebrows, and the 76ers are very likely to successfully complete the championship victory after getting Harden. It is worth mentioning that in any case, Harden should choose to sign first and then change, after all, this is his last big contract, and it is expected to get a sky-high contract of 5 years and 275 million US dollars. As of now, the deal is still under discussion, and everything should be subject to official announcements.
