On February 12, Beijing time, a joint report from the authoritative SPORTS MEDIA ESPN, Woj and Shelburne, hardened the risk in the process of leaving the Nets to join Philadelphia. On the one hand, he expressed his intention to stay in the team to Tsai Chongxin and Max, but on the other hand, he asked the players and agents about the strategy of joining Philadelphia. To put it mildly, Harden's approach is very cunning, and it can be said that there are two sides and three knives.
According to the reports of the two senior celebrities, Harden often communicates with Nets owner Cai Chongxin and general manager Sean Max, and during the exchange, Harden has always told the two not to believe any rumors, he wants to stay with the Nets for a long time. If there was a problem, Harden would express it directly to both of them. But at the same time, Harden is asking players and agents how to leave Brooklyn and head to Philadelphia. As the deadline approached, Harden finally showed up to Tsai and Max, saying he wanted to go to Philadelphia. 11.5 billionaire Cai Chongxin, this time deceived.
According to reports, Harden's idea of riding a donkey to find a horse was leaked because he did not have an official agent and used free agent consulting services. So when communicating with various agents and third-party agent teams, the news reached the Nets, and it was not surprising that the leak was leaked.
It can be said that Harden is a little speechless and even a little disdainful in doing so. As a player, there is nothing wrong with safeguarding the maximization of your own interests. But deception is always chilling, and Harden's two-faced approach makes the time and space for the Nets to operate smaller. Judging from this incident, Harden has done a very unauthentic job. Even if he is unhappy with the way the Nets handled Irving, Harden should speak out to his face.
All in all, Harden's approach this time has caused some collapse in his people's houses. Of course, the NBA is a business ground after all, and no one in the adult world is right or wrong. Now, Harden got the results he wanted, and all he had to do was help Philadelphia win the championship. If Harden can't get back to the level of the rockets of yesteryear this time, the outside world will have more and more doubts about him.
