On February 11, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA trading deadline officially ended, and many teams, including the Nets, made large and small transactions. For these transactions, five experts from Tencent Sports also expressed their views.
Yang Yi was surprised that the Nets traded Harden to Philadelphia, only to exchange Simmons, Seth Curry, Drummond and others, "I think it is quite shocking, equivalent to Philadelphia's chips without Neither Maxy nor Sable." What level Of Drummond and Curry Jr. is, everyone knows. Simmons has major technical flaws, and everyone knows about his psychological endurance. Philadelphia lost nothing and took Back Harden. At the same time, Yang Yi analyzed that although Harden did not openly ask for a trade as he did during the Rockets period, now he may have informed the team of his departure at the Nets, and the Nets were forced to trade with Philadelphia (Harden can jump out of the contract this summer to become a free agent and leave directly).
As for the Nets after the trade, Yang Yi said: "Simmons's restrictions are too big, in the modern basketball system, as a player with the ball, Simmons has no basket at all, to the strong team requirements are high, he is not an athlete at that level, his technical flaws are too obvious, I think the Nets have withdrawn from the championship competition." ”
The Nets' big three Harden, Irving and Durant have only played 16 games since they joined forces late last season before Harden was traded. In this regard, Wang Meng said that "this Nets is the 'most like' team in history." "If Durant hadn't been so injured, if Irving hadn't been in this situation, if there hadn't been an outbreak, if it hadn't been put on the foot, if everything hadn't happened, how good would this Net be? If that result leads to a championship, Harden will not choose to go. Wang Meng said.
For the Nets and Philadelphia after the trade, Wang Meng believes: "Because the playoffs are coming soon, if you look at it from the last two or three months, Philadelphia's ranking will definitely be higher, because they have hardened players with the ability to play MVP level." If you stretch the timeline, the Nets get more chips and chips that can be traded, and they get a chance to change the style of the existing game, when the Big Three are there, they are very strong offensive machines, but offensively strong and defensively weak. After Harden left, they had a chance to become evenly attacked and defensive, after all, Simmons is a top 5 level player in the league's defense. On the longer term, I'm more bullish on the Nets. ”
In addition, Wang Meng is not optimistic about Harden's future in Philadelphia, Wang Meng believes, "Although Harden is very powerful now, he is 32 years old." Philadelphia is bound to give him a contract extension this summer, and Harden will get a five-year, $270 million contract. Bobby Max, an NBA salary expert, said Harden's contract would turn into the worst contract in history in three years, and he made sense when Harden got older and ended up making more than $60 million a year. How will Harden be then? I don't know, but from the past understanding of Harden's self-discipline and the continuous accumulation of injuries, this description has a logical judgment in it. ”
In addition to the Nets deal, other experts invited by Tencent Sports also talked about deals for other teams. Meng Chao, a reporter in front, brought a first-hand message, saying that Bucks coach Budenholzer was more satisfied with the team getting Ibaka, "He (Budenholzer) appreciates Ibaka's previous performance, and he also mentioned that the Bucks have a few days off after today's game, which can help Ibaka integrate." ”
Kong Xiangyu complained about the Lone Ranger's trade with Porzingis for Dinwiddie and Bertans, and he believed that if the Lone Ranger wanted to reach the second round of the playoffs, then it should be replenished. If it is to release salary space for the future, it should go after potential rookies or draft picks, but the Lone Ranger gets Dinwiddie and Bertans. "Dinwiddie's game-like state is known to everyone, and attendance over the past two seasons has been lower than Potzin's. What kind of player is Bertans? It is better to put him on the field than to change, this 16 million I don't want, it doesn't matter. His contract continues until 2025. How did the deal come about? Who made such a deal? And you want to exchange Bozin, why not release the signal sooner? ”
After the trade, the Lone Ranger lost his only basket inside line, and it was even harder to reach the second round. At the same time, Dinwiddie has already had friction with his teammates in the Wizards, and it is unknown whether the Lone Ranger can be willing to play as a substitute. After such a transaction was completed, Kong Xiangyu could not help but ask: "What is the purpose of the transaction?" Nobody understands, nobody understands. If who made the decision in the end for Dallas management? Is it Nick (Harrison, general manager) or Cuban? If it's Nick, it's better to sign me. If it's Cuban, what's the point of signing Nick? ”
Xu Jingyu said in commenting on the Nets trade: "The Nets must be relatively at a loss, compared with the price paid by Harden a year ago, the Nets now have lost almost half of the chips." Simmons is trading completely differently than it was a few years ago. At the same time, he said: "The Nets' spiritual problems are still not solved, Irving is still in a stalemate, the team lacks cohesion, this deal appears to be the Nets to a certain extent to lose, before it launched a grand undertaking is a feather, the Nets future is worrying." ”
