Since the Rockets lost last season, Harden and Westbrook, who saw the team hopeless to win the championship, have also spread trade rumors, especially Westbrook feels it is difficult to have a good chemical reaction and a more harmonious relationship with the team. After the atmosphere, he directly applied to the management for the decision to be traded. As a result, it seems that the Rockets reconfigured Harden's new lineup again and ended in failure again.
So on November 17th, Beijing time, Rockets reporter Mark Berman also broke a very heavy news, claiming that according to many NBA veterans, now Harden really wants Was traded to leave the Rockets, and according to Harden's own ideas, now he most hopes and only willing to go to the Nets, the fundamental reason is that Durant is now in the Nets, and he wants to find his big brother to reorganize and join forces.
After such news came out, not only was there a heated discussion in the league, but many fans said that they could still watch next season? Just like the opinions expressed by the current Pelicans player Hart, if Harden, Durant and Owen are really allowed to join forces, then next season will basically be over. Indeed, these Big Three If they meet again, it is indeed possible to form an unstoppable impact in the league, but if we really rely on three people to make the finale of the next season, I am afraid it is still a bit difficult, and even if we really want to form such three The giant, I am afraid this time, even Durant will be "abolished".
First of all, let's meditate for a moment. Is the NBA really a 1+1=2 league? For such a question, the answer is obvious. The chemical reaction has played a vital role. Just like last season’s Clippers, whether it is the depth of the lineup or the super giant of the team, it can be said that it absolutely surpasses all teams. Above, even if it is a rotation lineup, it has a starting strength comparable to other teams. If such a team cannot win the championship, who would believe it? But the result? The Clippers, which did not even enter the Western Conference, are now the biggest "joke" in the league.
And this time the same is true. Although Harden has a unique advantage in scoring, and Durant is superb when playing off the ball. Normally, the combination of the two is absolutely "no dead ends". Perfect, but don’t forget, is there still Irving in the Nets now? Especially now that Irving and Harden still have a spatial conflict. As the connecting hub of these two players, Durant, how to arrange the relationship reasonably?
According to the current utilization rate calculated by the league, Durant and Irving, ranked sixth and seventh, are far lower than Harden ranked fourth. You must know that Durant, who is the last in utilization rate Rand has a usage rate of over 29% on the court, not to mention the other two. If the Nets really form the Big Three, I’m afraid everyone will be able to see that only these three are in the game. The remaining two can only "run" back and forth.
So far, the problem of possession and possession of the ball is enough to become the Nets' most troublesome problem, not to mention how Harden, who has been the eldest brother of the Rockets for 8 years, can be willing to be in the fence? Irving has always coveted the position of the team's boss. Once the Big Three is formed, Lao Du this time, I am afraid it will really take some thought.
Secondly, the attitude of the Rockets is now. Everyone knows that Harden and the Rockets still have a three-year contract. Although the Rockets have a full annual salary of 50 million to renew Harden’s contract, But Harden didn’t seem to be impressed, but it didn’t make the Rockets worry, because there was enough time to talk with the Nets about the bargaining chip, so if the Nets really want to form the Big Three this time, it doesn’t seem like " It’s impossible to get some blood, and when that happens, the Nets’ salary space will face a new round of tests.
From this point of view, Harden and Irving, who have never teamed up before, have a conflict in space. Even if other factors are not taken into account, just the problem of ball ownership is enough for the Nets to "drink a pot". After all, last season The Clippers are a good example. Once they form the Big Three, I am afraid that they will not be targeted by other teams. Internal worries will cause the Nets to care about one another. The final result is also worth waiting for.
