Recent rumors about a trade between 76ers and Ben Simmons have been a hot topic of discussion, and Simmons' lack of interest in continuing to play for the 76ers coincides with James Harden's dissatisfaction with the Nets.
According to the US media Shams-Charania, the Nets are willing to promote the deal involving Harden and Simmons with the 76ers before the trade deadline:
"The 76ers are expected to chase the Nets' core backcourt James Harden before the trade deadline, and the Nets are open to discussions about such a deal," the sources said.
This is undoubtedly an unexpected choice for the Nets, after all, the biggest advantage of the Nets' lineup is originally the Big Three lineup with Durant, Harden and Irving, but the current stand lineup is facing the possibility of disintegration.
On the other hand, the Nets also updated Harden's injury situation in the next game against the Jazz, who was unable to play this game due to an injury problem with his left hamstring:
Considering the Nets' recent injury troubles and poor performance, this is certainly not a small blow to them.
Finally, ESPN analyst Stephen A-Smith recently said that if Durant can't win the championship trophy at the Nets, his career achievements will be affected. Durant also responded on social media:
"Shocking," Durant said on social media.
Although Durant does not agree with this statement, it is a pity that if Durant cannot win the championship trophy at the Nets, it will indeed affect his career achievements, after all, Durant has only won two championship trophies during his career for the Warriors.
