At the trade deadline this season, the Nets made a big deal with Philadelphia, and Philadelphia traded With Drummond, Seth Curry and Ben Simmons for Harden, it can be said that this deal caused a lot of discussion at the time! Some say that the Nets lost Harden, no matter who they get, it is a loss, and some people say that Harden's arrival in Philadelphia will affect Embiid's offensive efficiency, and they are not winners in this deal! But who wins the trade depends on what they can achieve this season!
Recently, NBA star Wolf King Kevin Garnett talked about the deal between Harden and Simmons, Garnett said: "This deal Nets get more assets, but I love Harden and Embiid, they look like O'Neal and Bryant in 2022. For the Nets, with Simmons they'll play faster, and Durant, Curry, Irving and Drummond, I think the deal is a win-win!
In fact, if you look at the lineup of the two teams, Philadelphia's main players after the trade are Maxi, Harden, Embiid, Sable, Danny Green and Harris, this core lineup looks at the entire NBA, and few teams can compete with them. And they played well without Harden on the court, so Philadelphia's strength is definitely not to be underestimated!
And after the trade, the Nets have players such as Durant, Irving, Simmons, Drummond, Aldridge, Griffin, Mills and Seth Curry, and this lineup is also very strong, especially on the offensive end, they will make it very difficult for any team to defend! And the most important thing is that Harden will definitely leave the team in the offseason, and it is already very good to get such chips in this case!
So no matter from which point of view, both sides are not loss-making, and can even be said to be winners. If these two teams meet in the playoffs, it will be a Mars-like game, and even if the two teams meet in the division finals, it will be possible to play the most intense series in recent years!
