Neither Embiid nor Rivers want James Harden to be kept offseason because they are eager to get championship forward Middleton. Embiid and Rivers have always been dissatisfied with James Harden, who is anti-guest, and most of the players of the Philadelphia 76ers were recruited by James Harden alone. Tucker, House, Harrell.
It is clear that Harden is plotting to dominate the 76ers and force Embiid and Rivers to step aside. Because of Harden, he wanted D'Antoni to be his coach. So Rivers was dissatisfied with Harden, and in the previous game Harden was full of firepower to reap the game, Rivers glared at Harden angrily. So Rivers and Embiid don't want to keep Harden.
According to NBA Analysis, if the Philadelphia 76ers cannot win the championship this year, the Philadelphia 76ers will definitely start the road to reconstruction. Because James Harden and the 76ers management had a breakdown over salary issues, they were unwilling to give Harden a top salary, and James Harden was not satisfied with the salary given by the 76ers. The 76ers prevent James Harden from running early, and the 76ers will be empty.
Embiid and Rivers immediately pushed for a trade for James Harden, and both Embiid and Rivers wanted to join forces with the Bucks' Middleton. The 76ers are hoping to recreate the combination of Embiid + Middleton, and if the opponent targets Embiid, Embiid can pass to Middleton outside the three-point line. Without defenders, Middleton could dry up threes.
Specific trading schemes
The Philadelphia 76ers get: Middleton +1 first-round + 1 second-rounder
Milwaukee Bucks get: James Harden
If the 76ers do make the deal a deal this offseason, the 76ers will have a faster offensive tempo and more fluidity. Just because of Harden's presence, the 76ers are slow, and Harden is like walking on the court. If Middleton comes to the 76ers, the 76ers will strengthen their defense and be more specific about their potential to reach the championship. If Harden comes to the Bucks, Alphabet and Harden form a new OK combination. Brother Alphabet is alone, Harden touches porcelain alone, and I am afraid that no opponent in the East will want to meet them. They act as a deterrent off the pitch and their role on the pitch cannot be underestimated.
