There was a slight reversal in the Nets and 76ers trades, after reports that Harden would execute player options as part of the deal. However, there has been new news in recent days that Harden has not implemented the player option, and he can still become a free agent next season. Such a small reversal is still quite intriguing, even if it is to join the 76ers, Harden still did not decide to stay here for a long time. And then there was a report that Labor Agreement expert Bobby Marks said harden retained his bird rights in the deal, which is the Bird Clause. That way, Harden could next sign a big five-year, $269 million contract.
These two pieces of news are quite interesting, Harden refused to execute the player option, should be to wait and see, so that he is not in a passive. He did not execute the player option this time, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. First of all, he can retain the choice to go where he wants, and even if Harden doesn't leave the 76ers, he can use this to make greater profits. Secondly, Harden can also hit a big contract of 5 years and 269 million US dollars, when Harden refuses to execute the player option and signs a new contract, which is a big contract of 269 million US dollars, and Harden obviously does not want to miss it.
I can't believe it! When Harden left, the Nets also gave him a big gift. Harden originally agreed that executing the player option was part of the deal, but now it doesn't, and that can only be compensated by other chips, otherwise it can't move the 76ers trade. After all, if so many chips are exchanged for Harden, and the result is only half a season, it will be a loss. This time the Nets and Harden are a good gathering, from the trade rumors to the final transaction is completed, they have given each other face, and the relationship has not been too stiff. Now after Harden is gone, it also allows him to impact the big contract of 269 million yuan for 5 years.
No wonder Harden wants to leave the Nets, before the start of the season, the Nets actually want to renew Harden's contract, and Harden has not agreed. At this time, Harden may have the idea of leaving, just want to wait and see. Later, Irving was unable to play at home and Durant was injured, which accelerated Harden's departure. After all, if Harden still stays at the Nets, will he still be able to get a 5-year, 269 million contract? After joining the 76ers, Harden does not have to play so tired, and the 76ers do not have a guard to grab the ball with him, the first organizing point, after all, Maxi is still young, Embiid is also a center. According to the 76ers' style of play, Harden's statistics should be better than when the Nets were.
Now it's up to Harden to gamble right, he has rejected a number of billion yuan contracts, including the previous Rockets' billion yuan contract extension, Harden is still refusing. Now it's up to Harden to see how well he can play with the 76ers and how far he can go. Knowing that Harden joined, the 76ers were all supportive, and Embiid said that Harden was the best teammate he had met so far in his career. The Emperor also continued: "Harden is one of the best players in the league, MVP, and I'm very excited. You get such a player, your chances of winning the championship will be greater. Even Harris expressed anticipation, thinking Harden had helped them tremendously and the whole team was excited to get him.
In general, harden now has the advantage of the time and place, depending on whether he can seize the opportunity. Now whether it is the Nets or the 76ers, they have met Harden's requirements. Do you want to leave? Then I'll let you go, or even go to the team you want to go to. You want a big contract of $269 million for 5 years, and that gives you a chance. So Harden has no excuse for going on, he needs to prove himself in the playoffs, to prove that he can go further. I also hope that Harden can break out in the playoffs and stop disappointing the fans.
