Not surprisingly, the Nets and the 76ers eventually reached a deal, allowing Harden and Simmons to swap owners! The details of the deal sent harden and Paul Millsap to the Nets, got Simmons, Seth Curry, Drummond and two first-rounders! After getting Simmons, the Nets regrouped a new Big Three lineup. After getting Harden, the 76ers are equivalent to parachuting in a superstar who can immediately enter the game, which is a great help to improve their strength.
So, the question is, did the nets make money or the 76ers made the deal?
In fact, it is not difficult to see that before the deal, the Nets and the 76ers had a lot of internal contradictions, Harden and Durant, Irving, Nash and other people are not news, and Simmons is refusing to play for the 76ers, so let them two swap, in fact, from the root to solve the biggest hidden danger of the two teams, from this point of view, both teams are beneficiaries.
So from the perspective of strength, the Nets lost Harden, equivalent to losing a superstar who can attack with the ball at a critical moment, the cost is a bit large, but they also got Simmons, a good offensive and defensive ball-handling player, although his personal ability is not as good as Harden, but it is also a good supplement, and do not forget that in this deal, the Nets also gained Seth Curry, Drummond, two players with certain strength, Harden's value gap They can fully make up for it, so the Nets are relatively not losing.
76ers are a big winner in this deal, why? Simmons refused to play for them, in fact, the 76ers gave up an All-Star in the league, but now they replaced Simmons with Harden, which is equivalent to them parachuting down on the basis of the original to get a superstar who can play immediately, and the strength increase is directly at the jump level, so they are not happy? Even if their price is to send Seth Curry, Drummond and two first rounds, it is worth it to be able to exchange Harden.
So, in general, this deal is more beneficial than harmful for both sides, solving the hidden dangers of the team and getting a good instant combat power, why not enjoy it? So, what do you think about this deal? Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments section!
