Harden is arguably one of the top five scoring guards in history. The first is Jordan, the second is Kobe, the third is Wade, the fourth is Iverson, and the fifth is Harden. Harden's prime stayed at the Houston Rockets, and the Rockets averaged 36 per game in 18 years1 point 66 rebounds 75 assists 108 steals 0With 9 blocks, he is the league's No. 1 scoring guard. It's a pity that the peak Harden met the top team in history, the peak Warriors, and failed to win the championship.
Harden left the Rockets in 20 years, and that year he requested a trade, and various teams did whatever it took to get Harden. Let's first talk about why Harden left the **** arrow.
First, the management traded away Willow, which made Harden very unhappy;Second, D'Antoni had a "knowing grace" to Harden, but management offered D'Antoni an insulting contract at the time, which was rejected, which was contrary to Harden's wishes;Third, Harden has no hope of winning the championship in the Rockets, and the Nets led by Durant have made a good start, and the willingness to leave the team is even stronger.
So what kind of ** did each team drive to the Rockets in order to get Harden at his peak?Now, I would like to invite you to listen to me in detail.
76ers: Harris, Milton, Sable, Korkmaz, 2 first-round picks. This chip is obviously really insulting to the Rockets, I must want to rebuild when I trade Harden, you give me a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, why?The Rockets wanted to trade Harris for Embiid and Simmons, but the 76ers were reluctant, so the deal fell through.
Nuggets: Murray, Barton, Millsap, 1 first-round pick, 1 second-round pick. Murray was 23 years old at the time and averaged 26 per game in the playoffs5 points 48 rebounds and 66 assists and 1 steal, can play tough battles. Millsap and Barton are also good role players, and with draft picks, trading for Harden is enough. Harden also liked Murray very much, but because he was a "glass man", he withdrew from trade talks.
Heat: Lowry, Duncan Robinson, 2 first-round picks, 1 first-round pick swap. Lowry was averaging 194 points, 5 rebounds, 75 assists 14 steals, both offensive and defensive. Dunroe is averaging 13 per game5 points, 3 per gameSeven three-pointers with a 44-point shooting percentage6%。The Rockets did have an interest in Dunroe, but they decided Lowry was too old to fit the team's future plans, so they refused.
Knicks: Barrett, Randle, Mitchell Robinson, 3 first-round picks. Barrett, a talented teenager at Duke University, had just entered his first year in the league and averaged 14 per game3 points, 5 rebounds and 1 steal, which seemed quite malleable at the time. Miro is also a good interior defensive gate, averaging 83 points 81 rebound 11 steal 15 blocks, Randle is an All-Star forward, and 2 valuable first-round picks are enough to trade for Harden. But at that time, the Rockets wanted four first-round picks from the Knicks, and the Knicks disagreed.
In the end, through a four-way trade, the Rockets got Oladipo, Exum, Kuruc, 4 first-round picks, and 4 first-round picks in a swap. The Nets get second-round picks from Harden and the Cavaliers (2024), the Pacers get LeVert (Nets) and a second-round pick, and the Cavaliers get Allen (Nets) and Prince (Nets). Harden finally went to the Nets and teamed up with his big brother Durant, but in the end he broke up because Irving played "part-time basketball", and went to Philadelphia 76ers to have more or less conflicts with Embiid and management, Harden is a pity, but you can't blame others, if you have Jordan's strength, you must have won the championship.
