February 10, local time in the United States is the deadline for player trading this season, this year's teams play crazy drama again, Harden was sent to Philadelphia by the Nets in exchange for Simmons, Curry and others, and the American media also took stock of the winners and losers of this trade.
Winner: Nets
Although Nash had previously said that the Nets would not trade Harden, in the end Harden was disappointed in the team and asked to leave, and the Nets had no choice but to send to Philadelphia. Sending Harden away has reduced the Nets' salary pressure, Harden's efficiency this season is not very high, if Simmons can play, his height, organizational ability, defense will help the Nets a lot, which will make Irving and Durant attack at full strength. Curry increased the team's outside projection ability.
Losers: 76
The Nets sent Harden away because they don't want to give away a $275 million contract over the next five years, harden has player options in the next game, and he will definitely renew his contract. He will be 37 years old when his contract expires, but Philadelphia asked Harden to execute next season's player option in the trade, and whether to renew the contract is to be determined. The 76ers are unlikely to renew Harden's contract, harden may become a free agent next year, Harden has been teammates with Paul, Westbrook and Durant in the past few years, and have not succeeded. Can he succeed with Embiid?
Winner: Ben Simmons
Simmons didn't want to play for the 76ers, he was fined $19 million for it, and now he's finally leaving Philadelphia for the Nets, where he can make money if he plays. Simmons has four more years left on his contract, and he was disappointed by his playoff performances last season. There are many basketball stars, there is no need for him to attack, and his arrival will be a perfect fill.
Loser: Embiid
Embiid has not worked with a star of Harden's level, this season he is the MVP candidate, can he get along with Harden well, Harden is very dominant, Embiid if the ball declines will affect his performance. Howard, Paul, Westbrook and Harden all declined in stats after combining.
