After the 76ers smoothly pushed for the trade involving James Harden and Ben Simmons, according to us media mark Stein, the 76ers executives may let Pelicans assistant coach Mike D'Antoni replace the current 76ers head coach Doug Rivers:
However, the US media Kyle Newbeck retorted the news after talking with a team source:
Harden and D'Antoni have teamed up between 2016 and 2020 and have indeed delivered good results to the Rockets, so it's not surprising that D'Antoni was included in the 76ers' head coach's list of potential considerations, and of course team insiders have refuted the rumor.
On the other hand, the 76ers' interior lineman Joel Embiid talked about Harden's addition in an interview:
"If we want to win, we all have to sacrifice," Embiid said, "and you look at the teams that have won championships in the past, whether it's the Warriors or the Lakers and bucks, they've all made sacrifices." ”
Harden and Embiid are still very much awaited partners, of course, what kind of performance the 76ers can play under the leadership of these two superstars is still unknown.
Finally, Lakers legend Shaquille O'Neal responded to his predictions about this year's championship trophy and regular season MVP winners in an interview. O'Neal said the Warriors will be the team most likely to win the championship trophy, while the 76ers' interior joel Embiid is the player most likely to win the regular season MVP:
Compared with the Prediction that the Warriors may win the championship trophy, Embiid is indeed the player who has the best chance of winning the regular season MVP, not to mention that the average performance of 29.5 points per game has allowed Embiid to lead the entire league.
