After a long negotiation period, the Nets finally reached an agreement with the 76ers, and the deal between Harden and Simmons has become the most important deal in the league recently. It is lamentable that the Nets' big three were dismantled in just one year of formation, and Simmons, who has been out of the game for a long time, may not be able to help the Nets at this moment, after all, no one knows how simmons and Irving and Durant's chemistry will be. But the deal should be a steady deal for the 76ers, who, with Harden, embiid can also play better, and the 76ers now have the biggest chip to compete for the Eastern Conference championship.
Many fans in the league are puzzled by this transaction, because they believe that even if the Nets want to trade a giant, Irving should be the first player to be traded. Why is it that Harden is being traded first now, but Irving can still stay? Perkins, a well-known commentator, spoke about the deal on a show, and he gave his opinion on the deal. He believes that the Nets traded Harden because Nash treated Harden and Irving differently, which led to the current situation.
Perkins believes that many people now feel that Harden's strength has dropped a lot, and that harden is no longer the Harden he once was, but the reason why Harden has become what he is now is because he does not want to continue to play with Irving. There are times when we see Harden suddenly showing fatigue in the game, and that's because Nash treats Harden differently. Nash will tell Harden that this is not a good shot, but has always encouraged Irving to take a shot, and over time harden's dissatisfaction has formed, and there has been a transaction.
In fact, for Harden, he seems to have been dissatisfied with the Nets since a long time ago, not only for Irving alone, but also for the various arrangements of management. So this deal is actually in a sense Harden himself to promote, there have been rumors that Harden hopes to be traded, the Nets are now only trying to recover their losses. But it's really not quite right to trade Harden for Simmons, which is after all sending a good player to his Eastern Rivals.
According to Perkins, he thinks the combination between Harden and Embiid will be the next OK combination because the two of them are indeed a good fit. Whether it is Harden's outside projection ability or passing organization ability, or Embiid's inside killing ability and pie eating ability, both of them are the most perfect combination. As long as they are given a certain amount of time to cooperate, then the chemistry between the two of them can definitely surpass Durant and Irving, plus a Simmons is not to be afraid.
So the situation in the East has changed now, the Nets are no longer the most powerful team in terms of lineup, but the 76ers have Harden and Embiid plus a series of excellent role players, and the 76ers are likely to win the Eastern Conference championship this season. Whether it is from the management's operation or Nash's attitude towards Harden and Irving, the Nets have indeed failed Harden, and harden did not come to the Nets under great pressure to be angry. The deal is likely to be profitable to the 76ers in the end, and the Nets can only make wedding dresses for others.
