With the announcement of the All-Star bench list, except for the unexpected loss of the three goals, the rest of the selected substitute players are well deserved. The Nets supergiant backcourt Irving was unsurprisingly lost, and the championship honor and All-Star status are actually dispensable for Irving. This is what makes Harden most uncomfortable, because forming the Nets Big Three is Harden's closest to a championship, and I didn't expect that there was almost no chance of getting together this season. However, what makes Harden a little happier is that he himself has been successfully selected to the All-Star bench, and Irving's departure time has been exposed for the first time.
If possible, the Nets could send Irving away before the trade deadline, and it is reported that the plan to exchange Simmons alone has been discussed very deeply. However, it is not ruled out that the 76ers will change their minds at the last minute, because the chances of getting Harden next year are greater, and the formation of the two giants by Harden and Embiid should be better than Irving. However, it is reported that Irving will also leave the Nets next season, because the two close people he brought with him when he joined the team three years ago have now left the team.
The two were his personal trainer Pound and his best brother and coach Carter, his age. Everyone around him has left the Nets, Irving can't play at home, don't work and have a high salary, Irving himself should not be too worried. Combined with his rejection of the $36.5 million player option in the offseason, it's clear that he's going to jump out of contract after the season. As a free agent, he can also join the 76ers to continue to assist Harden and embiid, who may come to the team, that is, to change the environment and reorganize the Big Three.
If Irving joins the 76ers, Harden may continue to stay with the Nets, no matter what, in fact, where to win the championship, Harden will go. However, Harden can get the biggest contract ever next season, and he will certainly not let go of this last opportunity, whether to sign first and then change or sign to stay in the team, are optional options. The Nets will definitely continue to reinforce the team's weaknesses, at least to make Harden feel that the team still has the ambition to win the championship.
According to the latest deal plan, the Nets continue to peddle interior star Clarkston, whose immediate power cannot bring much help to the team. The Magic, who are interested in trading with the Nets, are expected to send blockhouse Bamba, who can contribute 2 blocks per game, which is a good addition to the Weaker Nets. Next, Nash's team will face multiple top eight teams in the league, and losing should be inevitable, so it is more necessary for the team to bring players who are ready to fight back as soon as possible in order to counterattack after the All-Star Game, when Durant and Aldridge will return, and the Nets' record should improve.
