On February 5, Beijing time, according to NBA celebrity Shams, Philadelphia will open trade negotiations with the Nets about Harden this week. Shams said that while the Nets are open to opening negotiations, the team is not in a hurry to trade Harden. If Philadelphia can provide the chips to impress the Nets, the deal will become viable.
Shams wrote in the article: "The two teams opened deal negotiations to prove that harden was possible to be traded during the season (Feb. 10, the trade deadline), not necessarily until the offseason. ”
Rockets reporter Jackson Gatlin, who was not too busy, forwarded Shams' article and wrote: "We have multiple first-round picks from the Nets, and Stone (rocket manager) is a master! ”
Shams also said harden's style of play has caused a debate between the Nets coaching staff and players, and the Nets' game plan should be adjusted according to his playing or going down. Philadelphia believes the combination of Harden and Embiid has a chance to win the title.
Nets self-media Brooklyn Netcast wrote: "If all this is true, then my respect for Harden will fall to an all-time low." You asked to be traded to Brooklyn, and now you have a little setback, and you have to quit?
One last question: If Philadelphia trades Harden with Simmons + Maxi (or Sable), who do you think makes and who loses on this trade?
