The mid-season trade ended, the 76ers got Harden as they wished, the most critical thing is that Maxi and Sebel have not become chips, Simmons has not played for the team this season, equal to the 76ers' starting lineup directly from Xiao Curry to Harden, the team's strength has been greatly improved, the current 76ers are 33 wins and 22 losses ranked fifth in the East, but only 2.5 wins away from the first Heat, not to mention the chemistry of Harden and Embiid, even if the two lead the team separately, the team's record will not be bad.
The biggest problem now is that the Nets have Drummond gone, he is Embiid's only substitute interior line, I don't know if the Nets are to weaken the 76ers' interior strength, or really like Drummond, anyway, the 76ers' replacement center position continues to be filled, head coach Rivers said in the interview that he will try to let Millsap try to play this role first, but from his performance in the Nets, it is still very difficult, even if the state rises, his height to play the center is also a bit difficult.
After the 76ers and the Nets completed the trade, the team still has a vacancy, although the trading market has been closed, but before this the teams in order to free up the quota to reach a deal, or cut some players, including a pure center player, he is Moses Brown, Brown is only 22 years old this year, is the 2019 draft, his height reached 2 meters 18, the body is relatively thin, the confrontation is poor, but the movement is not slow, can fight for rebounds in the frontcourt, Last season's rebuilding Thunder averaged 8.6 points, 8.9 boards and 1.1 caps per game, and won a double 20 of 21 points and 23 boards against the Celtics, which was also the highlight of this performance, allowing him and the Thunder to sign a formal contract for 4 years.
In the last game of the season against the Clippers, he was 12 of 19 shots, bombarded the super center data of 24 points, 18 boards and 7 caps, including 8 frontcourt rebounds, slightly embarrassing, this game thunder won, and finally the Rockets got the top pick, the Thunder lost the qualification for swapping, which may also be the reason, he was traded to the Celtics in the offseason, and then from the Celtics to the Lone Rangers, this season did not get many performance opportunities, Averaging only 6.5 minutes per game, but with 3.1 points and 2.3 boards and 54 percent shooting percentage, the Efficiency is still good, the Lone Ranger still values his potential more, turning his contract this season into full protection, because in the trade to send Porzingis, the team needs to free up a place to accept new members, and can only choose to cut him.
Since Brown has only been in the league for 3 years, the team can sign him with a two-way contract, neither occupying the official contract quota, but also playing, the 76ers should really try to sign him first in the case of a shortage of inside, if it is easy to use at least in the regular season to share some pressure on Embiid, if it is not good, there will be no loss, especially if the team has Harden, for this kind of technically rough pie type center there is still a big bonus, I don't know if the 76ers will shoot, let's wait and see!
