From the current state, the trade with Harden is getting closer and closer, and before the trade deadline, Harden is likely to leave the Nets and join Philadelphia. Now the two sides are just bargaining over the chips of the deal! Previously reported that the Nets wanted Philadelphia's Maxi, Sable And Jr. Curry, as well as the main chip Ben Simmons, fans also did not understand this trading chip, thinking that the Nets had some lions open their mouths!
And now Philadelphia has also expressed its attitude, according to Philadelphia reporter Jason Dumas, the source revealed that Philadelphia refused to include Maxi in the discussion of The Deal between Harden and Ben Simmons. But the Nets then made a counteroffer, with the Nets offering to trade Harden with trade chips from Simmons, Curry Jr., Sable and Drummond!
At present, Philadelphia is hesitating whether to include Curry Jr. in the trade, and in addition to Harden, the Nets may send Mills to Philadelphia. It can be said that from the attitude of Philadelphia, they did not give up everything for Harden, although Sable is also an important defensive player of the team, but in order to get Harden, sending away Sable is also acceptable, but Maxi is absolutely unable to send away, he is the youngest and most promising young player in the Philadelphia team, and one of the most important players in the team at present!
If Harden and Mills can be traded for Simmons, Curry Jr., Sable and Drummond, Philadelphia should be able to accept it. Although they sent away Curry Jr., the outside pitcher, Sable, the defensive fighter, and Drummond on the inside, they welcomed Harden and Mills, mills can make up for Curry Jr.'s role to some extent, and Harden's value is obviously stronger than the other three!
So now, Philadelphia wasn't passive in the deal, and they didn't lose everything to bet on Harden! Other teams are waiting for this big deal to happen, and Philadelphia and the Nets are taking control of the trade market!
