On January 29, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. In recent times, Nets star Harden has been the focus of fan and media attention. According to previous media reports, Harden was disappointed to play for the Nets and intended to leave the team and join the 76ers.
Earlier today, Vicent Goodwill spoke about it on a podcast show, talking about the Nets' possible asking price for Harden joining the 76ers. He said: "Based on the information I have received, I am very sure that Nets general manager Sean Max will ask the 76ers at the negotiating table to pay the chips of Maxie + Ben Simmons in exchange for Harden. This may seem a little unbalanced, and there may be some trade additions or draft picks. ”
As we all know, Simmons has not played for the 76ers so far this season due to the contradictions between him and the team. As a 21st pick in 2020, the 21-year-old Maxie averaged 16.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, shooting 46.3% from the field and 40.7% from three-point range.
However, the conclusion of the deal seems to be difficult to achieve. According to Chris Haynes, another famous journalist, if things go according to the rumors, the alliance will receive complaints before the deal is reached, and investigate whether the village chief has conspired to do anything. Because Harden and the 76ers management have a good relationship is a fact that everyone knows, 76ers small boss Michael Rubin and Harden are also very, very good friends.
According to previous interviews, Harden refuted the trade rumors, saying he is now focused on playing for the Nets and saying that these remarks are said by the outside world, not by himself.
Nets coach Nash also responded in front of the camera, saying he had never heard Harden complain or complain about the team.
