One of the hottest topics in the NBA in recent times is the swap between Harden and Simmons, harden joined Philadelphia, and Simmons joined the Nets. As for what kind of result this deal will be, this article will not give you a detailed discussion, after all, this is a chemical reaction problem and a manager coaching problem. However, this article xiaobian wants to talk to you about Harden.
There is no doubt that after Harden left the Nets, most fans blamed Harden, most fans said that Harden ran away again, and most fans would think that Harden was just a player who did not dare to face difficulties. However, is this really the case? Did Harden really leave the Nets because he was running away from difficulties? I don't know, what do you think about these issues? Anyway, in my opinion, harden left the Nets for only one reason and that was because he was sad. In the vernacular, "Harden lost faith in the Nets, and he no longer believed the Nets could bring him a championship." ”
I believe that fans who see here will definitely say that Xiaobian is talking nonsense. Of course, some fans will definitely ask, "Why do you say that Harden no longer trusts the Nets?" In fact, the answer to this question is very simple, that is, the Nets have not taken the initiative to trade Harden from beginning to end, and Harden's performance in the Nets is obvious to all. Or it could be said that it is not the Nets who have to trade Harden, but Harden who asks to be traded by the Nets. Because, on the issue of trading Harden has the initiative, if the Nets do not trade him, then Harden can choose not to renew his contract, can also choose not to work, and even choose not to play, in this case, the Nets can only choose to trade Harden, can only send Harden to another team with championship strength.
Seeing that there are fans here, they will ask, what is the reason why Harden has lost confidence? What made Harden stop trusting the Nets? In my opinion, there is only one trigger that caused the Nets' big three to fall apart, and that is Irving. As for what Irving did, we'll start with last season. Last season the Nets were undoubtedly the most capable team to win the championship, but what did Irving do? First it was missing at the beginning of the season, and then it was to find various reasons not to return to the team, even if it was three days and two days to return to the team. More importantly, last season KD also played a stop-and-go, so the responsibility of leading the team all fell on Harden, of course, Harden also lived up to expectations to lead the Nets to the first place in the East. However, behind the outstanding record is Harden's physical exhaustion, but Harden plays nearly 40 minutes in every game, and as a result, Harden's tired injury led to the Nets' failure to win the championship.
This season the Nets are making a comeback, and fans are very optimistic about the Nets winning the championship. After all, in the offseason, the Nets reinforced aldridge on the inside and Mills on the outside. However, at this time, Owen began to produce moths again, refusing to be vaccinated. However, halfway through the season, the Nets compromised with Irving, accepting that Irving would only play away games without vaccination, and Irving became a part-time player. Imagine, if you were in Harden's shoes, how would you think about this? What would you think of the Nets? Anyway, I have only one evaluation of the Nets, and that is too dramatic, they are not at all the style that a professional team should have. Since you are not a professional team, then I can only choose to leave.
In fact, it is not only that Irving is not mature enough this season, nor is it that Irving has a strange personality in the last two seasons, but Irving's overall career approach is very unacceptable. In 2017, Irving resolutely chose to leave James, and the reason he gave was that he did not want to be James's little follower, he only wanted to be the leader of a team. The result? After Irving left, James was still able to lead the Cavaliers to the Finals. On the contrary, Irving left in the new team but failed to prove himself, but was ostracized by other players. After joining the Nets, Irving was again this kind of loose attitude, and this kind of attitude of getting by. Overall, Irving now has no goals and attitudes to rush the title.
After Harden left, the Nets now form a set of big three combinations such as Simmons + Irving + Durant. Let's not care about the strength of this set of big three, and don't talk about whether this set of big three can win the championship? Now, I just want to say, Owen please don't hurt Durant's heart again? If you break Durant's heart, there may not be any team in the NBA that can take you in.
