The Brooklyn Nets lost again "unsurprisingly," this time at the hands of the Wizards, and former Lakers veteran Kyle Kuzma proved his all-around prowess in the game, taking a triple-double. However, in the post-match interview with the media, head coach Steve Nash still had a relaxed face and praised several new signings with great interest. Earlier in the day, the Nets and the 76ers just made an epic deal, with the Nets sending Harden and Millsap to get Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Drummond, an unprotected 2022 first-round pick and a protected 2027 first-round pick from the 76ers.
According to many US media reports, Harden and Simmons, the two main players of the trade, hope that the team can facilitate the deal before the trade door is closed, especially the Nets' Harden, who has long been extremely dissatisfied with Irving's part-time status, and his addition can also make the 76ers return to the championship in an instant. For the 76ers, Ben Simmons' departure is almost a foregone conclusion, and so far this season, he has still chosen to refuse to play for the 76ers, a decision that undoubtedly makes the pressure on embiid the emperor even greater. Swapping out an All-Star who can't play, in exchange for a superstar who is more offensively strong than Ben Simmons, is also a wise decision for the 76ers.
Interestingly, after Ben Simmons has officially joined the team, he will become teammates with the Nets' inside Griffin. Off the field, Ben Simmons and Griffin, two former all-star figures, have also been in the spotlight, and the two of them have a "common" ex-girlfriend, Kendal Jenna. Before dating Ben Simmons, Jenna had been in a relationship with Griffin for a while, but the relationship ended in vain, and the two who had been in love chose to go their separate ways. After Jenna and Ben Simmons, the high-value couple also became the "golden boy" in the crowd, and during the relationship, Jenna also visited the home of the Philadelphia 76ers many times to cheer for her boyfriend.
However, this enviable relationship eventually came to naught, and after Jenna and Simmons broke up, the two of them still longed for a sweet relationship, not long ago, Ben Simmons and the famous British TV host Maya Jama officially announced their engagement, and Kendal Jenna threw herself into the arms of Devon Booker. It is worth mentioning that on February 11, Beijing time, a few hours after Ben Simmons joined the Nets, the Phoenix Suns led by Devin Booker and CP3 just won 131-107 to the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks, while Booker cut 17 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists.
However, after Ben Simmons joined the team, Griffin publicly said in an interview with the media: "We have gotten better. We got what we wanted and got guys who wanted to come here and wanted to play. The defensive attention our team's space and stars deserves to give Bency a freer game. The beauty of playing around Durant and Irving is that they can score and take over the game. I could tell Bency would handle our offense well. It can be seen that Griffin's evaluation of Ben Simmons is still very high. If the Suns and Nets can fight in the West and the East respectively, and meet in the Finals, then we will have the privilege of seeing Jenna's three "ex-ex, active" boyfriends fight on the court, and for the young Booker, the game against the Nets is undoubtedly a "battle of sovereignty" between both on-court and off-court.
