Lhe great operation that was expected at the close of the NBA transfer market has taken place. James Harden play in the Seth Curry drops his 5 all-time, LeBron snubbed!”>Ben Simmons which complicates the trade!”>Sixers after an exchange that sends to Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond and two first round draft picks at Nets. As part of the agreement, Paul Millsap also reaches Philadelphia and ‘The Beard’ exercises his player option to renew for 47.3 million dollars for next season.
Harden finally achieves his goal, which was to leave Brooklyn, as recently requested. get together in Philadelphia with Daryl Moreythe general manager with whom he already coincided in the Rockets and that made the entire franchise revolve around him. The Beard also joins Joel Embiidwho is playing at the MVP level, and with whom he can make a lethal pair… if they fit.
Harden’s physique, MVP in 2018, is not what he was. He is 32 years old and has averaged 22.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 10.2 assists in 44 games with the Nets this season. However, he has not managed to fit into a team weighed down by the injury of Kevin Durant and the non-sporting problems caused by the non-vaccination of Kyrie Irving.
Meanwhile, the Sixers get rid of Ben Simmons, declared in absentia after last season ended badly and the franchise could not finalize a transfer. He hasn’t played this season, but he’s still an All Star who will give the Nets great defensive potential in the open field.
However, his lack of outside shooting leaves the team heavily reliant on the now-injured Durant, especially in games in Brooklyn when Irving can’t play. Curry he can help as a shooter, although he was already playing that role Patty Mills. From Drummond can’t expect too much.
A transfer full of doubts for both teams, but that can change the panorama of the NBA. Time will tell who comes out on top, but Either of the two franchises is only worth winning the ring to justify this large-scale move. And over there are the Bucks. The curiosity will be that the Sixers and Nets will see each other in the playoffs.
