Prior to being traded by the Philadelphia 76ers, Ben Simmons had been absent from the team's games. It's clear he doesn't want to play for the 76ers anymore. But now, the 76ers have traded him to James Harden, one of the league's best guards. There's no doubt that many fans in Philadelphia are happy to see harden and Embiid duo.
76ers player Danny Green recently expressed excitement about Harden joining the team, but also criticized Ben Simmons in the process. Danny Green said the team was "happy to have an All-Star point guard who wants to play," apparently expressing dissatisfaction with Ben Simmons' decision to miss the game.
'We're excited to have an All-Star point guard who wants to play."
There's no doubt the Philadelphia 76ers are still a good team when Ben Simmons is out, but the 76ers would be a better team if he played. Someone like Danny Green would be happy to have a teammate who is genuinely willing to put a player next to him and help the team win more games.
Maxi also expressed excitement about James Harden joining the Philadelphia 76ers, claiming that James Harden and Joel Embiid were "two MVP-level players" who "can't wait" to play with them.
"In addition to the players we already have, there are 2 players at the MVP level. I think one thing will really help us – our chemistry and brotherhood here... It would be great. I can't wait. ”
The 76ers' head coach Embiid also expressed his welcome to Harden. He said he and Harden had already talked and both were excited, embiid adding that this was the best teammate he had ever had the opportunity to work with so far in his career.
Losing drummond and Seth Curry, two key role players, is certainly a pain point for the Philadelphia 76ers, but they've certainly made a better team. They gained shooting creativity and organizational skills through the acquisition of James Harden, two aspects that will make the 76ers better.
With the addition of James Harden, the Philadelphia 76ers are now true title contenders. They have two superstars and maybe we'll see them all the way through winning championships this season.
