Are you optimistic about Harden joining the three major networks?

If Harden really wants to join the Nets to form the Big Three, there must be something to watch, but it is also difficult to win the championship, so it is not very promising.

165438+1October15th, the Nets negotiated with Houston, and Houston sent Harden and Tucker back from the Nets to Dinwiddie, Leavell, Allen and Prince. At the same time, the Nets will also give Houston the first round draft picks in 2020, 202 1 year, 2023 and 2025. In addition, the Houston team will have the option to exchange with the Nets in the first round in 2022.

The deal was not concluded. If the transaction is concluded, it will be announced as soon as165438+1October 23rd. First of all, Harden intends to leave Houston. In the previous news, Harden was willing to stay in Houston and wanted to leave Shao Wei.

If Houston decides to trade Harden, it means that the eight-year career of the All-Star and MVP will come to an end. In terms of the Nets, it is possible to form the Big Three lineup again. The combination of Durant, Owen and Harden will make the Nets the most competitive team in the East in the new season. The firepower of the three men on the offensive end is the highest in the league, and any one is a big killer on the offensive end. The Lakers will face unprecedented pressure to defend their title.

It is true that Harden+Owen+Durant will form the strongest firepower on the offensive end, and it is difficult for any team in the league to limit their attack. If Harden wants to join the Nets, he will fight for the championship, then Harden will naturally give up some of the ball rights. In such a big three combination, all three are singles masters, and Harden and Owen are players who need to hold the ball for a long time. If Harden joins, he must hand over more ball rights to Owen. As long as Harden is willing to give up the ball and agree with Durant's position as the boss of this team, the three offensive killers will become opponents' nightmares.

Those who are not optimistic about this combination, the main problem is the distribution of the ball. There is only one ball, and there are three masters who hold the ball in singles. Especially Harden and Owen, two players who are used to holding the ball a lot, even if they are willing to sacrifice part of the ball, it is difficult to play the biggest threat on the offensive end, which is also not an ideal result. Durant can play without the ball, but the right to shoot is still guaranteed.

In addition, this set of cosmetic surgery is equally worrying on the defensive end. Owen and Harden's defense has been questioned, even if they have a positive attitude, they are not known for their defense. Durant's height, wingspan and agility have expanded his functionality on the defensive end to some extent. But it's hard to get him to go all out on both ends of the offense and defense after a big injury.

Then once the Nets trade to Harden, they will have problems in the depth of the lineup, the diversity of defense and offense. First of all, in the depth of the lineup, except for the Big Three, the bench seats will be hollowed out. Harden's salary next season is as high as $40.82 million, Durant's $4,065,438+million, Owen's $33.32 million, and Jordan Jr. 10.37 million. The total salary of these four people has exceeded 100 million, and it is not easy for the Nets to find a suitable replacement.

Off-site commercial factors are also one of the reasons that affect Harden's joining the Nets. Harden's sneakers are signed by Adidas, and he is also the only superstar player in the Adidas camp who can do it. If Harden goes to the Nets, then Harden is likely to be the third in charge. If Owen is the second child, Owen may feel wasted, otherwise he won't leave James. Even if you win the championship, there are few plays. As the biggest player of a brand, it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. As the third child, Harden's commercial value will inevitably shrink sharply. This is not what brands want to see.

Personality problems are also factors that hinder the integration of three people. Owen and Durant are sensitive inside, and Harden's reputation as a teammate has been getting worse and worse in recent years. If the Nets really pay such a big price, once they fail, they will once again fall into the abyss of reconstruction and cannot extricate themselves.
