On February 11, Beijing time, according to US media reports, the Brooklyn Nets sent Harden, Millsap to Bency, Seth Curry, Drummond, as well as an unprotected 2022 first-round draft pick and a protected 2027 first-round draft pick. Meanwhile, both Durant and Nash responded.
During the All-Star Live Selection Session, Durant was asked about trading. He said: "I'm excited about the new squad and hope to finish the season with my new team-mates. The playoffs are coming, so we have to grind in as quickly as possible, and I'm excited that everybody got what they wanted. ”
However, Durant said "very excited", interestingly, he was expressionless. Rather sarcastically, James, who was on the sidelines, quietly watched Durant's answer with a smile.
Other than that, Nash didn't want to say much about the deal. He didn't say anything about Harden in an interview with the media because in Nash's view, the deal has not yet been officially announced.
You know, last season, the Nets' goal after getting Harden was to win the championship, but with Durant's large and small injuries, coupled with Irving's refusal to vaccinate, Harden had no choice but to lead the team alone in many cases, which is also far from Harden's expectations.
So, for Harden, maybe a trip to Philadelphia is a good choice.
