On February 7, Beijing time, although the Nets were in crisis after 8 consecutive defeats and rumors about Harden's transactions continued, according to the latest report of jake Fischer, a sports reporter in the open-air stands, the Nets had zero discussions about Harden's trade with Philadelphia or the rest of the team, and they would not send Harden away before the trade deadline.
Durant's injury, coupled with Irving's refusal to vaccinate, has led to the Nets' Big Three playing only 16 games in total in the last two seasons. Now that the Nets have fallen to 7th in the East with an eight-game losing streak, there is a danger of playing a playoff spot.
Trade rumors about Harden have become a hot topic, especially about Harden and Simmons swapping owners, and even rumors that there is a trade conversation between the Nets and Philadelphia. It's just that according to the latest report by open-air stand sports reporter Jake Fischer, the Nets have not negotiated a deal with Harden with any team at all, they have not talked with Philadelphia about changing Simmons, nor have they discussed the related matters related to trade Harden with any other team.
Harden himself has expressed a desire to stay with the Nets, and Durant is also inclined to keep Harden with the Nets, and the Biggest Question for the Nets is still whether Irving will be vaccinated.
According to sources, even if some people on the Nets have ideas and want to exchange Harden for Simmons, the Nets will not send Harden away before the trade deadline.
As for Philadelphia, they have been peddling Simmons, but they are also not in a hurry, after the sky-high price, if they can't get Harden before the trade deadline, they will wait until the offseason to continue to pursue Harden, and the Philadelphia executives also believe that Harden is interested in playing for Philadelphia. Embiid is the trump card in Philadelphia's hand, his dominance is obvious to all, and the combination of Harden + Embiid is also extremely exciting, depending on how philadelphia can facilitate the deal.
