On the NBA trade deadline, the Nets made a blockbuster deal with the 76ers, Harden and Simmons completed the swap, and the two All-Star players changed owners. After the deal, the 76ers have also undergone major changes, the team's latest 16-man roster has also been released, and there is a lineup place, which can make them gain something in the buyout market.
In order to be able to reach a deal, the 76ers also showed sincerity and completed a 5-for-2 deal, the specific plan is: 76ers sent Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, 2022 first-round picks and 2027 1-8 picks to protect the first-round picks, from the Nets to Get Harden and Millsap.
For the disintegration of the Nets' big three, it is still quite regrettable, which could have brought a lot of honors, but unfortunately injuries have become the biggest obstacle. In 2 seasons, the three of them have played in a total of 16 games, compared to Durant and Irving (who already have championships), Harden does not have so much time to spend, and can only choose to change the owner again.
The 76ers also have a soft spot for Harden, and when he was leaving the Rockets last season, the 76ers were very sincere in wanting to get him, but unfortunately, in the end he chose the Nets himself. Judging from the current results, the original choice was wrong, and it depends on whether this time can seize the opportunity. Whether he and Embiid can spark is also unknown, at least Harden will work harder here, and if he doesn't play well, the problem may really appear on his own.
With the 5-for-2 deal, the 76ers' 16-man roster was updated, with the US media giving them a set of starting points for Harden, Maxi, Green, Harris and Embiid, along with Sable, Kolkmaz, Niang, Milton, Reid, Isaiah Joe, Jaden Springer, Millsap, Charles Bussi, Miles Powell and Charlie Brown, and another place to fill. As you can see, 76 people are willing to send 2 first rounds, and they did not add Maxi and Sable to the trade, which is still very correct.
Compared to Simmons, who doesn't play, the 76ers are still very good at this trade, and they haven't picked up Maxi and Sable yet, which will still be helpful for them in the next game. The 76ers also finally got their wish, forming the core lineup of Harden + Embiid, and the team owner is also full of expectations for the new lineup, "Harden is one of the real elite players in the league, and his career has achieved incredible personal achievements. I can't wait for the future of this team and its fans. ”
