The soap opera about Harden's deal has been playing out lately, and somehow Harden suddenly didn't want to play for the Nets. Harden has missed games in the past few games. Interestingly, Durant also praised Harden's desire to leave the team, and it seems that the relationship between the two of them is not so good.
At about 2:20 a.m. Beijing time on February 11, a 2-for-5 deal was reached, and many fans sighed, and when they woke up, Harden joined forces with Embiid to form the league's strongest combination of interior and exterior lines. According to NBA reporters, the Nets and Philadelphia have reached a deal for harden and Simmons swaps. It was the biggest deal of the 21-22 season so far. There is no doubt that the NBA landscape has also changed, with two more super teams in the East, a win-win for the Nets and Philadelphia.
The Nets compromised this time. If Harden is forced to stay, in the offseason, Harden can sign for Philadelphia as a free player, and now he can get some valuable chips. It is reported that the Nets have always hoped to get potential stars such as Philadelphia's Maxi and Sable, but Philadelphia refused, the attitude was very tough, and finally, as the trade deadline approached, the Nets had no choice but to compromise.
The Philadelphia 76ers sent Ben Simmons, Andre Drummond, Seth Curry, two first-round picks, James Harden, and the Nets put Paul Millsap on a contract. It's a 2-for-5 super deal, the Nets deserve it, Simmons is an All-Star, Curry Jr. is a top scorer, and there are two first-round picks, Chuang Shen can play the starting place for Ade, the Nets are still strong, and even have a great chance of winning the championship. If the Nets reach the top in 2022 after Harden leaves the team, it will be hilarious.
Until then, Harden didn't want to play for the Nets, and he's missed multiple games in a row. However, head coach Nash has always stated that the Nets will not trade Harden, and bearded will continue to play for the Nets this season, and now Nash has also been punched in the face. It seems that the Nets really don't have the confidence to keep Harden in the offseason, so they decisively choose to trade.
In this way, the nets' core lineup is out, Durant + Irving + Simmons + Curry Jr. + Drummond, enough to impact the championship. And Philadelphia has also formed a core lineup of Harden + Embiid + Maxi + Sable + Harris, which is also very strong. I have to say that after Harden left the Nets, there were two more super teams in the East, which was too scary.
Incredibly, since Harden joined the Nets, the Big Three have only played 16 games and won a series, that is, the Nets traded Harden and completely failed, without achieving anything. As for the Nets and Philadelphia who earned and who lost, perkins believes that Philadelphia's strength has increased greatly, and he bluntly said that Philadelphia has the best duo in the league. It is estimated that Harden and Simmons are now very happy and finally left the team, so who of the two will win the championship first?
