Harden's deal with Simmons has been settled, and the Nets have officially announced the jersey numbers of the 3 new signings, of which Simmons will change to the No. 10 jersey and usher in a new start. He's now in Brooklyn, had a checkup, then training to find form, and then he's going to play.
Simmons was ecstatic about joining the Nets, and the team and his mood were the same. After all, Harden no longer belongs here, they need to face this reality, and it may have a different effect.
Simmons faced a fine of nearly $20 million after breaking with the 76ers last offseason, and he has not backed down and has been firm in his thinking. Now that the Nets have brought him from Philadelphia, he's grateful, or he wouldn't have played this season. Now Simmons is also doing his best to get back in shape so that he can return to the game earlier. With the Nets' No. 25 jersey (Bill Mercioni) retired, Simmons had to wear the No. 10 shirt instead.
As things stand, Simmons' debut won't come early, and he needs to train to get back in shape. After all, he has not carried out systematic training before, just personal training, but with Irving's situation, the Nets can still handle it very well. In addition, both inside and outside the team have expressed support for Simmons, which will also be very helpful to him. In addition, the Nets also have Mills, both australians, which will also prompt him to integrate more quickly.
There are two other new signings, Drummond wears the no. 4 and Seth Curry wears the no. 30. They can quickly join the team, and with them, the team lineup has more depth. The injuries of Harris and Aldridge have left the team short inside and outside, and their arrival can make up for this, depending on whether Nash can better integrate them.
Curry Jr. has averaged 15 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4 assists per game this season, shooting 40 percent from three-point range; Drummond has averaged 6.1 points, 8.8 rebounds and 2 assists per game, shooting 53.8 percent from the field.
