The Harden effect continues, as long as Harden is present, the 76ers win is basically not a problem, but as long as Harden is not there, the 76ers' performance has declined. From two perspectives, one is that after Harden left the Nets, he was completely free of himself, had absolute ball rights, and other role players were willing to cooperate closely with him, which was naturally beautiful. The second is that Embiid is more comfortable, because there are people around him who share it, but if Harden is not there, it is difficult for Embiid to find the feeling of single-core team leadership for a while. The author feels that Harden is already an indispensable player for the 76ers, and this deal is definitely profitable.
But it's still in the regular season, and the playoffs may be another matter, but the 76ers are really confident that winning the title this season is the only goal. However, in case of losing the championship, the 76ers will definitely become the busiest team, because they will worry about Harden leaving the team in order to win the championship, and the previous experience in the Rockets and Nets is worth referencing. It is foreseeable that if the 76ers lose the championship, it is imperative, even if they win the championship, the team will still have to purge players, such as the high-paid Harris. According to some media reports, the 76ers have a planned deal with the Rockets, and the trade plan will involve three players.
The 76ers sent out to Tobias Harris with a valuable 25-year first-round pick, while the Rockets pulled out top scorer Gordon and Wood, who had the potential to become a top interior. The author feels that it is very reasonable for the 76ers to send Harris away, the high salary is enough to make him have been criticized, the performance at the critical time is even more disappointing, always hoping that he can contribute to a stable performance, but he can't do it. Of course, it is really not easy to find a suitable home for him, if it is true that the media can make a deal with the Rockets, as the media has revealed, how can the 76ers miss this wonderful opportunity?
The 76ers' trading principle is simple, clear the trouble, and the players must be able to assist Harden and Embiid. Gordon's strength is beyond doubt, he has also assisted Harden, and the reunion of the two will definitely rub a stronger spark. Gordon is also very suitable for the sixth man, plus this type of strong guard is very rare, the 76ers want to win the championship, gordon. The author believes that Gordon himself should not want to stay in the Rockets, he is already a veteran, and the Rockets are pursuing rejuvenation, there is no need to continue to cooperate. Therefore, the author is also looking forward to the reunion of the golden combination of Harden and Gordon.
In addition, Wood should not be in the Rockets' plan. It should be pointed out that Wood's characteristics are obvious, the big man can also shoot three points, when the core is certainly not OK, but as a strong role player is no problem. The 76ers are always worried that past balloon stars such as Millsap and Jordan Jr. will not be able to replace Embiid, and There is naturally no problem with Wood's appearance. The author analyzes that the key to this deal is whether the Rockets are willing to accept Harris, after all, his contract will only expire in 2024, and I am afraid that he is not very willing to unwind for the 76ers. But Harden can join the 76ers in the middle of the season, then It should be possible for Gordon and Wood to join the 76ers, and everything is still subject to official news.
