Not long ago, the 76ers and the Nets trade finally settled, Harden chose to go to Philadelphia to join the 76ers to join Embiid to compete for the championship. And this is also Harden's fifth superstar teammate in five seasons, before Harden and Paul, Westbrook, Durant, Irving and other people have not succeeded in cooperation, this time with the emperor Embiid, what kind of spark the two can rub fans is unknown.
After the trade was completed, well-known basketball commentator Su Qun posted on his social media about Harden's trade: "13 months ago, Harden forced the Rockets to change him to the Nets, and now, he forced the Nets to change him to the 76ers, and both times they got what they wanted, this time the Nets got Simmons, Seth Curry, Drummond and two conditional first-round picks." That could be a good thing for the Nets. In addition, Dragic went to the Spurs, Ibaka went to the Bucks, Bagley went to the Pistons, and Divinčianzo went to the Kings. ”
Su Qun believes that Harden left the Nets this time or by forcing the palace, and I have to say that this time may really be a little wronged Harden. Previous espn broke the news that the infighting within the Nets team was the fuse for Harden to leave the team, Harden was the only Nets player who was dissatisfied with Irving's part-time playing attitude, but Irving and Nash were standing together, because Harden was not satisfied with Owen, resulting in hardened teammates who stood with Harden were DNP, such as Griffin, Bembry and others, not long ago Bembry was just cut by the Nets, which just confirmed this.
If this is also Harden forcing the Palace Nets, it is really wronged Harden, after all, Harden is also for the good of his own team, when Irving returned to the court Harden first updated his social media, saying "Welcome back, King!" "However, now it has fallen into this fate, which is really regrettable." However, Harden can also be regarded as escaping from the bitter sea, since playing here can not make himself happy, then leaving is the mutual fulfillment of both sides.
Harden left the Rockets is indeed hoping that the team will send him away, after all, the Nets' championship-winning lineup has been completely dismantled, and there is no point in Harden continuing to stay in the Rockets, when Durant recruited Harden again, saw the strength of KD, Harden also chose to go to Durant as the third oldest, but after the Nets locker room had problems, Durant did not help Harden in the case of knowing that Irving's behavior was wrong, so it was really chilling.
In the previous All-Star selection session, Durant also deliberately avoided Harden, until in the end he chose Gobert, and Harden became the last player to be picked. As the boss of the team, Durant's attitude is also one of the triggers that led to Harden's departure, if Durant's attitude can be clear, perhaps the big three are still together. In just 16 games of combined time, it chose to disband, which may be the most failed Big Three in NBA history.
If the trio parted ways, the future meeting would be the identity of the opponent. Even without Harden, the Nets got Simmons and were relatively competitive. But now that the Nets have suffered 11 consecutive losses and the team's rankings are gradually declining, I don't know if Durant and Simmons can reverse the unfavorable situation after their return, no matter what, I still hope that they will be okay, harden can finally lift the championship trophy.
