On February 11, Beijing time, after "the Brooklyn Nets sent Harden, Millsap to Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Drummond, and an unprotected 2022 first-round pick and a protected 2027 first-round pick." Insider information about the deal continues to be exposed, according to Fox Sports reporters, Harden has a disagreement with the team management and Durant after coming to the Nets.
Harden wanted everything to revolve around him when he was with the Nets, especially on the offensive end of the team. However, Durant and Nash do not agree with this, and Durant and Nash hope to have more transfers on the offensive end.
At the same time, Harden hoped that the Nets could change the way the Rockets played at that time, but this was also opposed by Durant and Nash. In addition, after Harden's idea was rejected, Harden would "hide" from time to time, and he would even criticize his teammates and coaches at NBA insiders who sat on the sidelines watching the game.
Since then, net losses have become a common phenomenon. However, Harden has looked unconcerned throughout the season, and whether it's game or post-game commentary, he's also increasingly disappointed with the Nets.
A former Rockets insider said: "With James, if you're not 100 percent on his side, you're his enemy."
At the same time, trading deadlines are getting closer and closer. The 76ers have publicly said he is interested in swapping Harden for Simmons. In public, the Nets claimed they would not make any trades for Harden, but privately, according to sources, the two sides began negotiations in early February.
The Nets already know Harden wants to leave in the offseason, preferably to the 76ers, and the 76ers want him, they just don't want the news to be made public. The Nets general manager once told a colleague, "I don't want these things to affect our locker room."
In the end, the 76ers still got Harden, and the Nets got Simmons, so how can the two sides perform in the next game? Let's wait and see!
