On February 13, Beijing time, Harden officially arrived in Philadelphia and hugged the 76-person executive who picked him up and smiled. Millsap, another veteran who was traded to Philadelphia, also showed off his no. 8 shirt, while Simmons' fiancée, Maya Jama, showed off gifts from the Nets.
It has been previously reported that Harden will arrive in Philadelphia this weekend. The 76ers officially posted the scene of Harden's arrival, and wrote: "This is a beautiful day in Philadelphia, welcome @James Harden." Harden, dressed in a black down jacket, smiled at the camera. He finally got his wish to join the 76ers to form a new duo with Embiid, and head coach Rivers said in a previous interview that Harden's arrival has brought Philadelphia a kind of championship chase expectation.
It is reported that Harden will undergo a medical examination next, and he can appear as soon as next Wednesday's game Beijing time. StatMuse, a data website, writes: "Harden has arrived in Philadelphia, and since he joined the league, he has scored the most points in the league with 30+games, 40+ games, 50+ games and 60+ games in the same period!" After playing for the Nets, Harden adjusted his playing style and reduced the proportion of his individual offense. So far this season, Ha has averaged 22.5 points, eight rebounds and 10.2 assists, the lowest score per game since the 2012-13 season.
Millsap, who was traded to Philadelphia with Harden, also posted his PS figure wearing a Philadelphia jersey for the first time, looking very excited. Not long ago, he posted the No. 8 jersey in his locker room, the first time in Millsap's NBA career that he wore the No. 8 jersey, after wearing the Nos. 24, No. 4 and No. 31. So far this season, Millsap has played 11.3 minutes per game for the Nets, with 3.4 points and 3.7 rebounds. He hopes to get more playing time, and maybe in Philadelphia he can fulfill his wish.
On the Nets side, Simmons changed to the no. 10, and although he could not play for the Nets right away, general manager Max revealed that Simmons was ecstatic after being traded. He finally left Philadelphia, which he didn't like, and came to a new environment. Nets reporters reported that since the trade, Simmons has liked almost every post issued by the Nets' official. His fiancée, Maya-Jamma, also showed off the Nets' equipment gift to her, which contained a card that read, "Maya, welcome to the Brooklyn Nets family, see you back!" ”
