Before this year's NBA midseason trading deadline, the biggest trade was Harden's swap with Ben Simmons. The Philadelphia 76ers' conflict with Simmons could not be reconciled, and Harden was also extremely disappointed with the Nets' situation, so the deal was on the string and had to be sent.
Harden's disappointment with the Nets, in addition to the uncertain prospects of this team, but also because he feels that Irving is reluctant to play needles and can only play away games, which has a great impact on the team's atmosphere. Eventually, Harden and Irving didn't like each other, and the deal happened.
Today, there is suddenly new news from the NBA that Irving may soon be able to play at home. New York is reportedly poised to make a new decision that will no longer force athletes to get needles. That way, Irving should be allowed to play at home.
Such news is very good for the Nets. At present, Durant is still recuperating from injuries, Harden is gone, Simmons does not know when he will be able to play, Irving can only play on the road, and the Nets will suffer at a loss in the home game. If Irving can play in the home game, then the Nets' deployment will be more comfortable, and the cohesion of the whole team will be improved.
But none of this has anything to do with Harden. Harden was initially surprised by the Nets' lineup, and now that the trade is complete, the Nets' situation has changed significantly.
But in any case, the decisions that have been made cannot be modified. Harden has reportedly made a comeback this Saturday to make his 76ers debut against the Minnesota Timberwolves. As for the Nets, after bringing in Dragic, Seth Curry and Drummond, morale rose and they waited for Durant to return.
