The Nets' poor record, including Durant and Harden in injury condition, and Irving's part-time playing style, have made the Nets, which is regarded as a championship-contending team, a play-off level team, because this season's Nets don't have to say that they are fighting for the championship, whether they can get the Eastern Conference playoff tickets are suspenseful, unless Durant returns to frantically open death mode, but Durant will also be tired, right? In addition, Durant's personal data is still very luxurious, but also the top pillar of the Nets, as a former MVP superstar, Harden without a championship was pulled into the transaction rumors, these rumors made Harden and others have to respond, but Harden trade rumors caused an emotional intelligence contest, really can make us clearly feel the emotional control ability of the 76ers and the two team managers of the Nets.
Harden, who missed the game with left hamstring, of course became the core player that Nash was questioned before the game, especially Harden was caught in the trade rumors, Nash did not shy away from this, but said: "(The trade rumors) are from the 76ers, they have made it clear that they want to trade Harden from the Nets." Whether the cooperation between the Nets and Harden can be sustained, but Nash, as the nets coach, actually complains about competitors? Consider the noise that made the Harden trade rumors to be the masterpiece of the 76ers. Of course, Nash also affirmed that the Nets will not trade Harden, but the NBA is a business field, nothing is absolute, especially Harden is in such a state, it is not difficult to understand, and Nash did not seek a solution to the problem from the root, but complained that competitors made the noise of Harden's trading rumors, which is not a high emotional intelligence behavior, even if Nash in the player era is a super point guard, but Nash in the communication era is really incomprehensible.
Compared with Nash's complaints, Rivers is much more emotionally intelligent, and in the face of rumors that Simmons traded Harden, Rivers was asked questions by reporters, but Rivers said that he would not comment on this because it was too silly.
Why is Rivers' response so high in emotional intelligence? First, the manager talks about the player's trade that could be fined, and if crowned with a violation of recruitment, Rivers is more than worth the loss. Second, the more you talk about this kind of question, the easier it is to be punched in the face, because whether Simmons can trade Harden is too difficult to achieve.
Rivers's emotional intelligence is indeed very high, in short, his response can be summed up as "I am not stupid", why discuss these thankless things, so that you may be punched in the face by the final answer? Harden's trade, whether it appears or not, is a big deal, Nash complains about competitors, even if it is not a teammate, Irving is not high emotional intelligence, because Irving was asked by an American reporter whether Harden has been playing for the Nets for a long time, although Irving said that he did not care about the Harden trading rumors in the US media, but Owen's sentence "We just want him to stick to his promise" is indeed not very high emotional intelligence, maybe Owen said it very bluntly, we do not understand whether Harden has ever had a similar commitment to stay in the Nets to play, It's just that Irving's sentence set the tone for Harden, if you leave the Nets, then you are not keeping your promises.
Even if the 76ers spread rumors about the Harden deal, it was nothing more than to get Harden and solve the Simmons matter. Nash and Owen have too many words, not to the point, but may cause Discomfort to Harden, and they are too stupid to use Rivers's words.
