On February 12, Beijing time, the Nets' deal with Philadelphia was officially reached, and finally Harden joined Philadelphia as he wished, joining the emperor Embiid to attack the NBA championship. It is worth mentioning that there have been many media reports that when Harden joined Philadelphia, he would choose to execute the player option for the first time, in this way to reassure Philadelphia executives, but in fact Harden did not do so.
According to the latest news, Harden did not implement the player option for next season after the deal was concluded, which also means that next season he has the opportunity to press Philadelphia again to trade it. Obviously, Harden is very rational after arriving in Philadelphia, with a try-and-see attitude to join forces with Embiid, if the ideal goal is achieved, Harden will not hesitate to execute the player option, but on the contrary, Harden is always a time bomb. As we all know, in order to get Harden, Philadelphia lost the price of Simmons, Curry Jr., Zhuang Shen, and two future first-round picks in exchange for Harden's two-year use rights, and next season Harden has player options, which is a gamble and an opportunity for Philadelphia.
It is worth noting that ESPN reporter Raymond Shelburn exposed a lot of news about Harden, including Harden's concealment of the Nets, allowing agents to take the initiative to contact Philadelphia, whether there is a chance to reach a deal. One side told the Nets that he would renew the team, and the other side operated in the dark. Obviously, Harden's joining has triggered countless media and fans to look at each other coldly, and now Harden is only left with the status of speaking with results.
In addition, after the maturity of Harden, still did not forget to get used to the life of nightclubs, Harden often went to bars, nightclubs to enjoy such a process, which is also the reason for his decline in status. Most netizens believe that Harden's personality is the key to not being able to achieve great things, so Philadelphia only sees the benefits of the moment, unless Harden can complete a big transformation, otherwise he is still a small child.
Write at the end
From Harden's public joining Philadelphia, he will implement the player option for next season, to now he has not moved. Perhaps the most panicked are Philadelphia executives, who don't want the deal to be used for only one season, and once Harden chooses to pressure the team again next season to trade, Philadelphia doesn't have as much leverage. And Embiid will jump into another big pit, in addition, Durant also said that Harden notified the Nets to come once a first cut and then play, the Nets have no room to retain, can only trade, we only hope that Harden can play a good performance in Philadelphia, with strength to respond to everyone's questions.
