The NBA trading deadline is looming, and all eyes are on Simmons and Philadelphia, especially since they are now rumored to have a "scandal" with Harden. Philadelphia has been pursuing Harden, and the US media reported that Harden intends to switch to Philadelphia this summer, even if Harden debunks rumors after the Nets lost to the Lakers after the First World War, but it cannot stop the speculation of public opinion. Now the US media has written an analysis that Philadelphia should insist on chasing Harden for two reasons, not only is he extremely suitable for Philadelphia, but the partner Embiid will also form the most terrifying internal and external combination in the NBA to compete for the championship.
1) Excellent for the Philadelphia system
One of the main reasons Philadelphia should continue to pursue Harden fit, his playing style will help fill multiple holes left by Simmons and help dramatically improve other team areas. Simmons was excluded and Philadelphia limited possession and playmakers. In terms of passing, Harden remains the best organizer in the league. Currently, Harden is on track to average at least 10 assists per game for the fourth consecutive season.
Harden can create his own offense on the perimeter, helping Philadelphia open up space that will make Embiid play more easily on the court. Harden could also be the player who can deliver the final blow, filling the gap in Butler's departure. Despite embiid's dominance, he struggled in the final moments of NBA games.
From a purely basketball perspective, Harden may be the best all-around player of the team's choice of players it can target in a few months.
2) Partner Embiid will be a perfect match
Ever since the Simmons farce began, Philadelphia has made it clear what Yamen was aiming for in the deal. Philadelphia hopes to have an All-Star-caliber player paired with Embiid as he enters the golden age of his career. At this stage of Embiid's career, Harden was a perfect fit for Embiid.
Harden will not only greatly supplement the team's shortcomings, but will also be seamlessly connected with Philadelphia's tactics. Embiid proved he has the ability to be a top center, and Harden can be the top match for the outside. Combining two players of that caliber would give Philadelphia one of the NBA's most unstoppable offensive duos.
Adding Harden to the team will also activate Harris' performances, and he could take the pressure and responsibility off the Philadelphia forward and put him into a more comfortable role. If such a deal is reached, the "Big Three" of Embiid, Harden and Harris is undoubtedly quite worth looking forward to.
A lot of things could change between now and the offseason, but given the current trading market, harden's future addition to Philadelphia is not impossible.
