Due to Ben Simmons' strike, 76ers star Embiid put pressure on management to strengthen the lineup and compete for the title, and he suggested that management bring in Bradley Beal, not James Harden. Before the trade deadline, the 76ers management sent Ben Simmons, Cescuri, Drummond Anderson and two first-round picks to Millsap and James Harden, and the combination of Harden and Embiid on paper was not inferior to that year's OK.
At present, Embiid dominates the scoring king, leads the MVP list, and the team's record ranks in the top four in the East, both individual performance and team competitiveness are the strongest, and Philadelphia's hope of winning the championship has increased sharply. Management also realised that Embiid this season was at the peak of his own player era. According to Bleacher Report reporter Bill Simmons, the 76ers top brass believe trading James Harden is the best option. But Embiid prefers to work with Beal, the two have a good attitude on the pitch, and from the perspective of ball rights alone, Bradley Beal's no-ball deterrent is huge and may be more suitable for the 76ers, because he has proven to be one of the best point guards in the league.
The 76ers learned during the deal discussions with Beal that the Wizards management was reluctant to voluntarily give up Onbil, and that he was still Washington's star of hope and the core of the team's future, but the big question for management was whether he would renew his contract early in the offseason. Once Bill voluntarily applies for a trade, management will still choose to trade. James Harden and 76ers general manager Morey had a glorious time in Houston, having played in the Warriors vs. West Conference Finals. Morey, who has traveled to Philadelphia, also hopes to continue the frontier with Harden and work with Embiid to make up for Houston's regrets, and Harden's strength is beyond doubt, his highlight moments are numerous, countless heroic goals have also established his status as a super scorer, once Embiid and Harden's chemistry is good, this season's team will be a big hit to win the championship.
Harden played for the Nets this season, averaging 22.5 points, 8.2 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game, Embiid played 33 minutes, averaging 29.6 points, 11.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, and the two ranked in the top three in the league with a number of statistics, so the powerful Twin stars still have hidden dangers, first of all, Embiid's injury impact. The Emperor is extremely talented, but the rookie's four-year attendance rate is unbearable, even comparable to Zion,000 small injuries occurring in risky areas such as ankles and knees.
Secondly, Harden's competitive state, whether in the Rockets or the Nets, Deng Ge always shows a mentality of not caring about himself at key moments, and when the team is in difficulty, he lingers in the nightclub, so how can a star who does his own thing entrust himself with a heavy responsibility. In the end, the run-in period between the two is uncertain, Harden and the Emperor need to hold the ball on the offensive end, participate in the attack every round, and even as the initiator, tearing each other's defense, in order to be more threatening, perhaps both have to sacrifice to achieve the final championship dream.
