Who would have thought that the Nets, which were the favorite team to compete for the championship last month, have now "metamorphosed" into a playoff marginal team. And what's even trickier is that, with the current (9-game losing streak) momentum, if Durant and Harden's bodies can't return to normal in the next month, the Nets may miss the playoffs regardless of whether Irving gets rid of his part-time player status. It turns out that the vast majority of the Nets, including head coach Nash, suffer from superstar dependence, resulting in Durant and Harden long-term responsibility for winning.
In particular, Harden, as a point guard, he not only needs to sort out the Nets' offense in an orderly manner, use the pass to revitalize his teammates on the court, when the whole team is in a scoring drought, he must also take on the role of attacking, to put it simply, the Nets players are too dependent, disguised to force hardened the all-around mode of Harden, which is exactly against his own will to join the Nets. Recently, sources revealed that Harden is tired of all this in front of him, because he has faced the same situation during his previous time with the Rockets.
The reason why he resolutely decided to join the Nets last season, Harden just wants to get out of this strange circle, hoping that Durant and Irving, the two superstars, can help him share some pressure, but it is very regrettable that the cruel reality breaks the beautiful illusion, Harden did not think that he was back to the original point. Today's Nets home game, Harden, who is recuperating, came to the side of the stadium and witnessed his home team Nets being broken by the opponent in the first quarter, when the broadcast screen cut to Harden, the latter's facial expression was very lost, and even a little dazed.
After the game, many reporters reported in detail on Harden's subtle expressions, in the eyes of many people, leaving may be the best option, Harden has no reason to continue to spend with the Nets, taking advantage of the time is still very abundant. Congratulations to Harden in advance? The 2-for-2 deal is coming to an end, and the 19-year-old demon guard has agreed to give up the jersey number. Sources come from Philadelphia journalist Keith Pompey, and the 76ers and the Nets completed a trade conversation on Tuesday local time, but the core topic was not Harden, who was going viral, but the two "problem" players Simmons and Irving interacting with the owner.
It is reported that because the Nets' asking price for Harden is too strong, the 76ers need to provide at least Simmons + Sable + Maxi to get the NBA's active top backcourt. After receiving that feedback, the 76ers made their own small calculations, and the management led by Brand was extremely confident, and they decided that Harden would parachute into Philadelphia this summer, so that Irving, who was trading relatively low, became a potential reward for the 76ers' work on Simmons. Keith Pompey was told that the negotiating meeting on Simmons and Irving was coming to a successful conclusion and that the framework for a 2-for-2 deal had been largely determined.
The 76ers are willing to use Simmons + 2021 second-round pick Isaiah Joe to get Irving + Millsap from the Nets. From the relevant follow-up reports, it is learned that the Nets have always wanted to use veteran Millsap to exchange for a second-round pick, seeing that the trading market is about to close, no team has stepped forward to take over Millsap, the Nets simply asked the other party to put Isaiah Joe into the trade in the negotiations with the 76ers, in addition, there is a small detail that can prove that the 2-for-2 negotiations between the 76ers and the Nets have come to the end stage: 19-year-old demon guard Jaden Springer wears the Philadelphia No. 11 jersey this season.
Earlier, Springer changed his profile on social media, changing the No. 11 jersey to the No. 0 jersey. You know, 11 is Irving's current jersey number at the Nets, and it was learned from a reporter accompanying the team that the 76ers have already consulted Springer himself, who agreed to give up the No. 11 jersey, and this move is most likely to make way for Irving. I have to admit that Simmons' willingness to win the championship is much higher than Irving's, and the various displeasures encountered in Philadelphia have further promoted him to launch an attack on the NBA championship, if the Nets can send Irving to Get Simmons, we may wish to congratulate Harden in advance, at least the probability of the Nets winning the championship this season will be greatly improved.
