It's been years since the deal deadline was so crazy...
With the trade deadline four hours away, Nash said, "I guarantee Harden will still be with the Nets after the trade deadline." ”
Then 3 hours later, Harden was traded.
So, Nash lost the trust of management? The deal was not discussed with him at all?
Will the next action be to replace Nash? Aren't Nets fans having another New Year? It's over, it's over, the Nets are going to get stronger.
The specific trading plan is:
The Nets sent Harden and Millsap from the 76ers to Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Chuang Shen, the unprotected 2022 first-round pick and the protected 2027 first-round pick.
As part of the deal, Harden will execute a player option worth $47.3 million next season.
How to feel that 76 people have lost, blood loss that kind.
At the beginning of the season, who would have thought that Harden could be so valuable??? At that time, it felt that Harden was almost at the same level as his second brother, and no one wanted to send it for free.
The second brother is indeed a free gift now, and no one wants it, and as a result, the third brother has secretly increased his value.
I heard that the Lakers offered Westbrook + Tucker + 27 years of the first round of signing to try to get Wood + Wall from the Rockets trade, but it was rejected.
The Lakers also really dare to ask for a price! The Rockets' requirement is that the Lakers post a first-round pick to exchange Westbrook for Wall, so this offer, the Lakers want to exchange Tucker for Wood? Do you think the rocket is crazy? In a word, the second brother of heartache...
The 76ers have always wanted an All-Star-caliber player from Bency's trade, and now it's a wish, and Harden was named to the Eastern Conference All-Star bench this year.
We started YY Bency being traded to the Nets in October, but we never thought the chip was not Irving, but Harden.
Ben zi should be happy crazy at this moment, right?!
As soon as the deal was closed, Bency's agent said in an interview: "Bency has spoken to Durant, Max (nets general manager), he is eager to join the Nets, and hopes to return this season, will try to get back to the court." ”
It's also a situation where everyone is happy!
If Bency can quickly get back to last season's regular season level, the deal would still be a win-win.
Before Harden and Irving, Durant matching, always have to worry about the ball, and Bency matching, there is no such problem, Bency does not like shooting at all
In addition, Seth Curry can also fill the vacancy left by Joha's injury, and as for Millsap's replacement of the god, it is also the Nets' wish.
But how does the Nets feel at home for the next period of time? It doesn't seem to be very good
As for Harden, who got the 76ers, some people say that Harden + Embiid is the new OK combination, what do you think?
Philadelphia is already ready to welcome Harden with billboards...
It is estimated that it is done in advance!
After all, the deal is not completely without warning, according to ESPN, Harden has long had the idea of leaving the Nets, but he did not publicly apply for a trade for fear of public criticism, and he did not want to apply for a trade for 2 consecutive years.
However, at the beginning of the season, Harden did suffer too much criticism, and after Durant was injured, the burden of the team fell on him alone, after all, Irving was only half.
Now the Nets' record has fallen to 8th in the East, which is even more disappointing for Harden.
But even if he didn't openly apply for a deal, Harden was scolded. New York Daily News reporter Stefan Bondy tweeted Harden after the deal was struck: "Crappy man! Look in the mirror! You've never led a team to the Finals, Paul doesn't want to play with you, maybe the problem is always on you. ”
It is said that the Nets' 3 giants have only been formed for less than 1 year, and last year, before they reached the trade deadline, the Rockets were "forced" to send Harden to the Nets.
With such frequent transactions, it is indeed difficult for Harden not to be criticized.
Seriously calculated, Harden, Irving and Durant, the big three, have only played 16 games together, 13 wins and 3 losses. Unexpectedly, last year's transaction that shocked the whole league turned out to be so short and not brilliant. Wounded and sick people...
How many points will the secretaries give for this deal?
