Finally Harden left the Nets, dropping a bombshell for this season's transfer period.
Philadelphia used Simmons, Seth Curry, Drummond and an unprotected 2022 first-round pick and a protected 2027 first-round pick. In exchange for Harden and Millsap.
Philadelphia became the newest powerhouse in the East. Considering that Simmons has not played a game this season, they actually used a semi-starting guard (Curry Jr.) + a substitute center (Drummond) + two first-round picks in exchange for Harden and Milsap, who can be used by Shangke.
Embiid + Harris + Sable (Danny Green) + Harden + Maxi.
In theory, it will be a combination of both offense and defense, and there is no serious conflict in the core players' playing style.

The Nets can only be regarded as a timely stop loss. Considering Harden's resolute attitude toward leaving the team and the choice of players at the end of this season, if he does not send it away now, he is likely to face a situation of empty basket after losing this season, so he can only endure the pain of cutting meat.
Now that Durant is injured and Irving has none, Nash has had to rely on the aging Mills as the core in recent games. If Simmons insists on training and keeping him in good shape during his absence, he has a good chance of becoming the absolute core of the Nets in the near future.
In the playoffs, if Simmons is willing to play small ball center, then his +Durant + Harris + Mills + Irving's "extreme small ball team" is still very effective.
Durant is probably the best partner any interior line that can't shoot three-point shots can find. (Reference to Dream Chaser Green during the Warriors period)
And Death also came together three years later with another god pitcher named Curry.
Nowadays, the biggest headache is probably the alphabet brother and the Milwaukee bucks.
