How much do the 76ers really like Harden? Recently, NBA reporter Keshner introduced several key information in a report: Before Ben Simmons was sent to the Nets, the Hawks had come up with a sincere offer, the core chips were Collins, Pogdanovic, several first-round picks, but 76 was not moved, it should be noted that this does not mean that the Hawks' trading chips are not uncompetitive, but compared to the two pieces of the championship puzzle provided by the Hawks, the 76ers obviously prefer Harden, the hot superstar of the NBA league.
From relevant follow-up reports, it is known that on the day of the trade deadline this season, the Nets were still hesitant to become the potential opponent of the Eastern Conference playoffs, the 76ers. Coupled with the Nets' serious injury in Harden's big deal last year, in order to be able to form the Big Three, Allen, Levert, 4 first-round picks and other high-quality chips were packaged and sent away, so before winning an NBA championship, the Nets were reluctant to break up the Big Three in advance. It is understood that just when the Nets hesitated, the 76ers staged a wonderful bitter plan, the latter repeatedly dialed the Nets office phone, and sincerely expressed that he was facing a situation of no way back in the Simmons trading work.
It can also be understood that without Harden's words, the 76ers will fall into the "abyss" this season, and the prospects of winning the championship will become more bleak. Although the 76ers' championship is not related to the Nets, but because Harden has too many uncertainties, it should be known that this summer, once Harden chooses to jump out of the contract to become a free agent, then the Nets will lose very badly, so in order to avoid the development of the situation in this direction, the Nets finally decided to reach a deal with the 76ers, Harden and Simmons swap battlefields. While being loyal to the Nets and contacting the 76ers, the last thing Harden wanted to see was coming.
For Harden, it should be a fortunate thing to completely distance himself from part-time player Ou Wenwen, but as the details of the transaction are exposed one by one, Harden is once again pushed to the forefront of public opinion. The source comes from NBA reporter Shelburn, on the question of whether he is willing to continue to play on behalf of the Nets, Harden made a suspected reversal, he told nets general manager Max, do not easily believe the outside world crazy trading rumors, he wants to stay in Brooklyn in the future, and the Nets together with the NBA championship.
Shelburn stressed that even after a long wave of losing streak recently, the Nets have not wavered, firmly believing in Harden's previous verbal commitments, but it turns out that the Nets are still too confident, Harden expressed loyalty to staying in the team and also prepared a way back, entrusting his team to discuss cooperation plans with the 76ers. Unsurprisingly, Harden's two-line operation behavior once reported by the media, instantly caused a huge response to public opinion, some fans even turned over the old account, thinking that Harden is more excessive than the Rockets period, and professionalism needs to be marked with a big question mark.
It was learned from an NBA insider that after the "peaceful breakup" with the Nets, although some of the public opinion firepower was concentrated on Irving, Harden's public image was still damaged to a certain extent. It is reported that the reason why Harden did not choose to have a showdown with the Management of the Nets is because he cares about the opinions of others, he does not want to leave a bad image of "often forcing the management of his own team" to the outside world, but the result is that the wind evaluation after Harden left the team is still not very good, still accompanied by a lot of accusations, and did not develop in the direction he expected.
