At two o'clock in the morning, heavy trading! Irving finally forced Harden away, and the 76ers got an epic boost
In the early morning of February 11, Beijing time, in the last 2 hours of the NBA trading deadline, the Nets completed a blockbuster transaction with the 76ers! The 76ers sent Simmons, Cescuri, Drummond and two first-round picks to get three-time scoring champion James Harden from the Nets. At this point, the Nets' strategy of forming the Big Three officially failed. It is worth mentioning that since the Formation of the Nets' Big Three for two seasons, during the regular season, only 10 games have been played, with a win rate of up to 80%.
It is clear that the number one sinner of the Failure of the Big Three must be Owen. In the last year, Irving played part-time for various reasons in good health, which indirectly led to the injuries of Durant and Harden. He also encountered the stepping foot of the alphabet brother on the playoff stage, and the series was reimbursed. In the end, Durant took Harden with a hamstring strain and fought with the Bucks until game seven, regrettably losing. Originally thought that this season would be a new start for the Nets' Big Three, who would have thought that Irving would work part-time again because of vaccines. This in turn indirectly led to Durant's injury and also broke Harden's last psychological defense. After all, for Harden, he doesn't have a championship ring yet, and he really doesn't have that time to accompany Owen Xiuxian.
After the deal was struck, the Philadelphia 76ers were given an epic boost. You know, in the absence of Simmons, the 76ers still have a record of 32 wins and 22 losses this season. This time Harden joined, coupled with the current Embiid in the sky, a super center, a super guard, the two may be expected to become the current OK combination, the 76ers' current hopes of competing for the title have risen sharply. For Harden, this may be his best and final destination. The only pity is that we may not be able to see Harden's game in the future.
In terms of the Nets, getting Simmons, Curry Jr. and Zhuang Shen 3 immediate combat power, to a certain extent, is not impossible to play. But Simmons' shortcomings on the playoff stage are indeed too obvious, with he shot less than 40 percent from the free throws in the playoffs last season and doesn't have mid-range shooting capabilities. The biggest problem at the moment is still the Irving vaccine thing, and now that he has successfully forced Harden out, if he continues to act so alone, then the Nets will still not have a play this season. #NBA #
