Harden and Simmons finally completed the deal, which was big enough to affect the pattern in the East. As we all know, because some numbers have been retired or players are wearing them, players who have been traded have to re-select the numbers after they arrive at the new team. According to the Nets' official website, Simmons will wear the No. 10 jersey, Andre Drummond will wear the No. 4 jersey, and Bussay Curry will wear the No. 30 jersey. Although the jersey is only a number, it has a special meaning for players, in the 76ers, Simmons has been wearing the number 25, if you change to wear the number 10, personally think he wants to be perfect. Chuang Shen wore No. 0 during the Pistons period, No. 3 in the Cavaliers, No. 2 in the Lakers, no. 1 at the 76ers, and he will wear No. 4 after coming to the Nets, which shows that Drummond is passionate about small numbers for ten minutes, and fans said that the next time they are traded again, they are estimated to wear No. 5.
It is worth mentioning that Curry Jr. still wears back to the No. 30, and fans say that he doesn't care about Durant's feelings at all, which will remind him of the unpleasant things of the Warriors, all of which are No. 30, and they are all called Curry. However, Curry Jr. has always had a soft spot for the No. 30 since his debut, which may be a genetic factor. When he was a loner, he wore no. 30, came to the 76ers because no one wore no. 30, he could only change to no. 31, and now the Nets have no players wearing no. 30, and Curry Jr. chose his favorite number. Personally, I think Durant will not mind, he prefers that new signings can be integrated into the team faster and better, the current situation of the Nets is not good, only in the 9th place in the East, leaving them little time. In addition, Harden will wear no. 1 by the 76ers, which also shows his ambition to become the core of the team's offense.
The last news came from the Thunder, the other teams were sharpening their heads to avoid the luxury tax, and the Raptors and Celtics operated several trades in the trading market, part of which was to avoid taxes. However, the Thunder do not have to worry about this problem at all, and the team is still 23 million US dollars away from the league's poor ghost line after the trade deadline, which also means that the Thunder will be compensated for the corresponding fine. It is worth mentioning that this fine needs to be evenly distributed to every player in the team, which spoils the base salary players in the team and can finally get double salary. In fact, the Thunder is fully capable of getting Wei Shao, but the top level believes that he is no longer a resource for reconstruction. According to previous reports, Thunder was willing to accept some garbage contracts, but in the end no transaction took place. That's not a bad thing, though, as the team now has two new stars, Alexander and Gidey, and will have the strength to impact the playoffs after signing an All-Star player in the offseason.
