Is there still a play between Harden and Simmons swapping? According to Brian Windhorst, Philadelphia is leaning toward a Harden deal, and the Nets' asking price has been exposed, and they need Philadelphia to take the remaining two or three chips in addition to asking for Simmons.
When the Nets traded Harden at a high price at the beginning of the season, especially LeVert and Allen, there is no doubt that if they send Harden, they will definitely ask for a high return. Of course, according to the current US media reports, the Nets still tend to keep Harden and let the big three fight again, but they do not rule out completing the transaction when the chips are rich enough.
According to Brian Windhorst, Philadelphia is still inclined to reach a deal about Harden, after all, Embiid is playing its peak season, and if Harden is given a super internal and external double core, there is no doubt that Philadelphia is considered to have the hope of competing for the championship.
It's just that the Nets' offer for Harden is extremely high, and they want to take two or three more chips from Philadelphia in addition to asking for Simmons.
However, according to Philadelphia reporter Kyle Neubeck, Philadelphia will not take the deadline trade as their only chance to get Harden, which means that they will not give away all the chips for Harden.
According to the news, Philadelphia still believes that they have the opportunity to sign Harden, or even sign Harden directly naked this summer, after all, Harden can choose to jump out of the contract, or this summer to sign first and then change operations. Philadelphia does not want to trade Maxi and Sable, or even whether it will be willing to send Curry Jr. is a question, and it is also difficult for both sides to seek a trade.
