The 76ers, who were storming the first throne in the East, took an important step, getting closer to their goal after easily beating rival Lone Rangers at 111-101. The two superstars Harden and Embiid played well, scoring 56 points together, and the other main players did not pull across, which is enough for the 76ers to win the game. But the performance of the substitute players is still unsatisfactory, which is the hidden danger of the 76ers' championship, and it is difficult to have a solution at present, after all, there are not many players available on the bench. Personally, I think the most comfortable substitute player is Green, who earns more than 10 million a year, the quality of defense is very low, and he shoots a few three-pointers at will, regardless of whether he can get in or not.
In fact, the 76ers also have a problem, that is, they may not be able to fight a hard battle, which may be more obvious in the playoffs. To solve the problem of playing hard battles and the lack of bench players, the 76ers can only trade. It is reported that the 76ers will make some very high-quality deals in the offseason, the potential trading object of the Rockets, the specific deal plan is that the Rockets sent the best sixth man Eric Gordon, and the 76ers only need to come up with three-point shooter Danny Green and Cockmaz, a 2024 first-round pick. From the perspective of the transaction plan, both sides do not lose money, which is a highly matched plan.
In fact, there have always been rumors that Gordon is going to go, the reason is nothing more than that the Rockets need to rebuild, as a veteran, Gordon is destined to be only a supporting figure, and the biggest value is to exchange for the future of the Rockets through transactions. Of course, Gordon entered the trading list, the suitors must be more than 76ers, the Lakers, Nets and other strong teams are also eyeing the tiger. But the advantage of the 76ers is very obvious, on the one hand, the trading chips they can come up with should be recognized by the Rockets, especially the 76ers will come up with a first-round pick. On the other hand, Gordon prefers to assist Harden again, and the two have had a very wonderful cooperative experience with the Rockets.
If Gordon arrives, he will certainly be the central figure in the rotational lineup, concentrating on the bench waiting for the opportunity to play. This season's Gore has averaged 14 points, the three-point shooting rate remains above 40%, his performance is better than Danny Green, and he has a very balanced offensive and defensive strength, which is equivalent to having a quasi-superstar player on the bench. Personally, I think that the 76ers' idea of reinforcements is correct, and in order to find these stable and experienced veterans for the championship, it is also the right medicine, which will further improve the hardness and efficiency of attack and defense.
For the 76ers, it doesn't have to be a championship this season, after all, Harden and Embiid will take longer to run into each other. Don't worry about if there is a loss of the championship, Harden will choose to leave the team, because Harden has no better place to go, and other teams do not have enough trading chips to exchange for Harden. Therefore, the 76ers should hurry up and push forward the deal negotiations, preferably really bringIng Gordon to the team, which will only make Harden happier and make him feel that his status and voice are more sufficient. For Gordon, the chance to win the championship is also very attractive, and it is worth looking forward to his reunion with Harden.
