Harden is really fighting to win the championship. According to Shams, Harden has rejected the US$4,740 player option for next season and plans to sign a new contract with the 76ers. The starting salary of the new contract is about US$37 million, which is This means that Harden needs to take a salary cut of about 10 million U.S. dollars, and will create a full mid-level exception of 10.5 million U.S. dollars and a half-year special exception of 4.1 million U.S. dollars for the team, which is equivalent to spending his own money to help the team strengthen .
A tough guy is needed, the 76ers reinforcement target is released, Harden participates
ESPN reporter talked about James Harden on the show, he said: Harden will work with the management to find some specific players to partner him and Joe Embiid , these players need to be tough enough mentally and physically, which is what they feel the team is missing in the playoffs .
It seems that Harden and the management have discovered the essence of the problem. The 76ers lack a spiritual leader on the court and in the locker room, a tough guy who can always inspire everyone. Neither Harden nor Embiid have this characteristics. This is also the reason why the team is eager to recruit Tucker. Whether on the court or in the locker room, Tucker has a very strong spiritual temperament. During the Rockets period, he even dared to point at Harden and yell, letting Harden be present. Stay awake on .
Another report by Brian Windhrst shows that Harden has been actively recruiting Tucker; and Embiid, another core of the 76ers, also admires Tucker. This time Philadelphia no one can shake the determination to recruit Tucker. , is optimistic that Tucker will eventually join Philadelphia and join hands to "become the emperor" and win the championship.
In addition to Tucker, 76 people are also recruiting another Rockets player with a very tough style - Gordon . Gordon is also a representative of tough guys. He is only the second position, but he often plays forward work and plays very well. Stiff . Currently, the 76ers are also actively seeking ways to trade for Gordon, which will most likely be achieved through a three-party transaction.
The two strikers have become the team's goals
According to reporter John Clark, the two strikers may become Philadelphia's recruitment targets, namely Harden's old teammate Daniel House and Curry's current teammate Porter .
According to Brian Windhrst, 76 people have put Tobias Harris on the shelf . If Harris is put on the shelf, it means that the 76ers must sign forwards to strengthen, and Porter and House will become their targets. House is now a free agent. Last season, he averaged 5.9 points and 2.6 rebounds per game and shot 37.6% from three-point range. Excluding off-court factors, he is still a passable forward. The 76ers can sign him with a minimum salary. .
As a championship forward, Porter averaged 5.4 points and 3.4 rebounds per game in the playoffs and shot 40.4% from three-point range. He is the Warriors' main three-point firepower and forward defender; Porter is also currently a free agent. If the Warriors If you don't renew his contract, he will flow into the free market . In this way, it is very difficult for the 76ers to sign him. After all, Porter cannot be obtained with a basic salary or a six-month special case of 4.1 million. Maybe the 76ers have made other plans.
