With the harden and Ben Simmons swap deal completely finalized, the internal details about Harden's trade with the Nets have also been exposed, although from the results of the two teams to take what they need, but the actual process is not pleasant.
It wasn't until the day before the trade deadline that the Nets finally figured out that Harden was determined to leave the team, and harden himself chose to leave Brooklyn for Houston to show a determined departure.
This forced the Nets to make some concessions in the trade, failing to get the favorite Sable, but instead getting two first-round picks back, because other teams in the market knew that Harden only wanted to join Philadelphia.
Of course, while the outside world continues to criticize Harden, it is also necessary to acknowledge the difficulty of Harden's situation at that time.
In a public interview before leaving, Harden jokingly asked Irving to be vaccinated, but Owen directly refused, while fighting back with Harden's habit of going to nightclubs.
After that, Harden pointed out Nash's employment problem, in exchange for Harden's support of Sharp out of the rotation, supporting Harden Griffin and Brown have been abandoned.
Therefore, Harden's departure is not a whim, but the dissatisfaction accumulated over the days and nights has reached his threshold.
Even so, as a professional player, Harden's behavior in the past two seasons has still caused dissatisfaction among the team and the league.
In the past two seasons, Harden has forced the Rockets and Nets to send them to the next home of his choice through a "strike", during which he is not about to expire his contract, but is in a normal contract.
In the face of such a situation, Marc Stein revealed that league officials and the owners of some teams will explore ways to punish and restrict players from applying for trades in the next collective bargaining, trying to change the situation with increased fines.
Marc Stein said the league and team owners wanted to set the rule because they were worried that other high-paid players would follow Harden's example and force the palace to leave the team.
Over the past 13 months, Harden has been in a row with the Rockets and Nets through "strikes" to force trades.
It is worth mentioning that if the league and the team successfully pass the change of rules this time, then it will be Harden's personal behavior that will lead to the league's second modification of the rules.
Before the start of the season, a group of players led by Harden constantly took advantage of rule loopholes and penalty scales to "cheat free throws".
Forcing the league to make rule changes last summer, it also led to a significant improvement in physical opposition to strong teams this season, and Harden has successively become a player who has been whistleblown to focus on care.
In addition, Marc Stein also pointed out that before Durant was injured, Harden's communication with Durant became very difficult.
With Durant injured, Harden cut ties with the Nets in the weeks that followed, expressing through this negative attitude that he didn't want to stay with the Nets.
According to the previous report of Ramona Shelburne, Durant has been strongly opposed to the Nets trade with Harden until he knows that Harden himself wants to leave, and he has no choice but to accept the deal.
In response to Harden's deal, Durant also responded in the latest interview, which is the first time he has been interviewed since he was injured, and he also said something from his heart.
Durant said that when he knew that Harden was unhappy, it was already the end of the whole thing, and he could not change the situation at that time.
Even so, when asked how he views the Nets Big Three, Durant still said that he is proud of the basketball played by the Big Three, and it is not difficult to see Durant's reluctance to Harden.
Nash, who had previously been criticized by Harden for his coaching ability, appeared confident after the end of Harden's trade.
At the first moment of completing the deal, Nash publicly said that it was a good choice for everyone, and in the latest interview, Nash commented on new signing Ben Simmons.
Nash said he had no concerns about Ben Simmons' shooting problems, and that he could do 1,000 other things on the court, while revealing that the team would arrange for Korver to train with Ben Simmons.
