There is no doubt that although they are all big changes, the 76 ers are different from Jue Tu and Ying. The 76 ers don't use the team's 2-core knife like Jue Tu, and they don't like eagles. All players except Trey Young can send it out. Among the players sent away by the 76ers, Harris and sable are worth mentioning. The former was criticized after signing a five-year fat contract of 65.438+0.8 billion yuan, but in the current season, he made the most efficient way to play the NBA playoffs, and his main performance on the defensive end won five-star praise, which more or less offset the criticism of the outside world about his contract equity premium. However, whether the 76ers put Harris on the storage shelf this time is out of sincerity or just asking for an inquiry, everyone still has doubts. After all, it is generally believed that 80 million Harris will be transferred out in the next two years. Even if it is injected into the trade market, 76 people cannot complete the lease renewal according to the sale, but it is not as cost-effective as expropriation.
"Little Bull" sable is just the other way around. In the first three seasons away from home, he was elected as the best defensive main team twice. His original market prospect was taken seriously, and he was also retained by the 76 ers in Harden's sale. However, because he refused to be fully vaccinated, he could not play with the 76ers in Toronto in the NBA playoffs, and it was difficult to satisfy his excitement in the NBA playoffs. Naturally, he still has a sales market (for example, Hawks fans expect him to be Treyan's partner in the center and frontcourt), which is one of the factors that the 76 ers excluded him from the not-for-sale team.
Why didn't the 76 ers move the key? If the 76ers want to update the main lineup, after all, after the introduction of Harden this season, the 76ers did not show their arrogance. On the contrary, their main performance was not as good as before the sale, and they finally lost to the nba Heat 2-4 in the second round of Chengdong District (Embiid's absence from the first two games of the series may have an impact, but it cannot be used as an excuse). There is no doubt that this is quite different from the estimate of a high-rise residential building with 76 people. In addition, in the 2022 nba playoffs, we can also see how dangerous the natural environment of market competition in the east of the city is: the Celtics broke out of the cocoon, the NBA Heat and Bucks continued to be strong, the Nets were full of X elements and bottomed out, and the Warriors and Eagles are expected to show an upward trend next season. The situation of 76 people is not good because there are enemy troops ahead and then they are disconnected.
However, all the 76ers are thinking about players such as Harris and sable. Whether they can complete the update of the main lineup may even be unknown to Philadelphia fans. There are still many people who think that it is not others who hinder the further development of the 76ers, but "Diden's composition", and they are puzzled that the 76ers did not choose the key (actually Harden). Only more than half of the cooperation this season, Embiid and Harden gradually became a mysterious combination from the initial "OK combination 2". Embiid's play and mental state are still in doubt, but there are many doubts about Harden. The three-time scoring champion suddenly became a planner. After joining the team for 20 times, there was no attack, no aggression. Even in the internal structure of 76 people, Harden has few supporters. When Rivers and Embiid announced their dissatisfaction with Harden again, a scene of understanding seemed to flash in front of Philadelphia fans.
However, it is understandable that people set the immobile preconditions for Embiid, Harden and Marcy in the process of blood transfusion. First of all, Embiid won the second place in the MVP vote twice in a row. He is entering the peak state, and Max is rising rapidly. It goes without saying that the 76ers can't leave them. Secondly, Harden's words are not very good, but the 76ers put in three players and two first-round signings, not only to better exchange more than half of his ownership this season. What's more, the 76ers don't have the initiative in Harden's future (after all, Harden hasn't implemented the player option).
It is worth looking forward to what Harden will look like after a "normal offseason" and how much money he can earn. In fact, which road should the 76 ers take, whether to keep the key and only update the walk-on players or move the knife to the key. In recent years, there are examples of two sides in NBA. A positive example is the stag. In the case of keeping two key players, Brother Alphabet and Middleton, Bucks sent three persona players in the offseason in 2020 (naturally, there are also two first-round signings and two first-round signings exchange rights) to introduce Giuledi, and concluded that he is actually a puzzle of winning the championship; The latter example is clipper taught by Rivers.
From 201112 to 20 17 when Paul left the team, the Clippers frequently failed to win the championship. Nowadays, playing back the Clippers will still give people the feeling that "when the role players are around, the problem lies with the key players". Throughout the history of the 76ers, there are only a handful of B&B inns that can spend their lives in Philadelphia, and many B&B inns are unhappy when they break up with the 76ers. Nowadays, the decisions made by 76 people considering the status quo, for whatever purpose, are difficult to predict the future conclusions. If the 76ers don't make the right move, perhaps Embiid will soon join the ranks of team veterans such as Chamberlain, moses malone, Buckley and Iverson.
