On March 29, Beijing time, Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid talked about James Harden's deal with Ben Simmons, and said that he did not intervene in the deal.
Embiid: "Honestly, I don't know what's going to happen until the deal actually happens. Last year it was probably close, I heard some wind noises outside, I knew what was happening at the time, but I didn't know if the deal could be approached, I just heard it from the outside."
In addition, Embit also revealed whether he had communication with management, he said: "I don't have such a conversation with them, I don't want to be responsible for the players I choose, when this happened, I thought, this is James Harden, we all know what he has done."
At the same time, Embiid also talked about whether he knew Harden before: "We didn't know each other before, but when we were still opponents on the court, I would always spray garbage at him, and I didn't know him very well at that time."
"I've been interested since he joined our team, we had a big peacock but Harden filled the gap."
