On February 5, Beijing time, the famous shams broke the news, the 76ers and the Nets will open Simmons and Harden trade negotiations this week, the Nets are open to this, the 76ers can use potential trading chips include Seth Curry, Thales Maxi and Matisse Sebel and other players, mingji also exposed the inside story of the two teams to open trade negotiations.
Why are the Nets willing to trade Harden before the trade deadline?
Shams said Durant is currently in a pivotal year of his career, and Irving also has player options this summer. While the Nets do look invincible when the Big Three are combined (13-3); the suitability of these three players has always been a major issue, which may push the Nets away from Harden, and Harden's injury is also a major concern for the Nets.
Harden's playing style is increasingly being feared. His style at Houston has always been long-time possession, which has earned him MVP, but this style is in stark contrast to the way Irving and Durant play; the Nets' game plan tends to change depending on whether Harden plays or not.
One is that the Nets are worried about Harden's injury, the second is that the Nets believe that Harden's style of play is not compatible with Durant and Irving, and the third is that Harden has affected the Nets' game plan.
Why are the 76ers eager to bring Harden in?
Shams said the 76ers want to trade to get a star player who can boost their chances of winning the title this season, and they are waiting for such an opportunity to trade Simmons and offer a high price. Harden met the threshold of 76ers' needs, and Harden's past resume gave Philadelphia confidence that they believe the combination of Harden and Embiid has a huge chance of winning the championship.
The farce between 76 and Simmons has been going on for a long time, and Harden has always been what they've been after.
The Nets opened harden trade negotiations to attract heated discussions, instantly rushed to the second place in Twitter's hot search; last offseason, Harden refused to renew his contract with the Nets in advance, and now Harden has only played a total of 80 games in the Nets, for various reasons, the Nets have begun to try to trade Harden.
When Harden applied to leave the Rockets that year, the 76ers had frantically pursued Harden, and finally the Nets recruited Harden to build the Big Three, but the Nets only played 16 games together after the combination of the Big Three, and the injury seriously affected the Nets' championship plan.
At present, the Nets have suffered 6 consecutive losses, 29 wins and 22 losses in the sixth place in the East, Durant is injured, Irving refuses to be vaccinated and can only play on the road, Harden is caught in the trade rumors, is the Nets big three really going to break up?
