There was a visible problem when Harden was at Nets. There was more than one player who got a leader character. And this was causing some conflicts in the team. Now he can play freely and lead his new team. And I'm expecting him to make a good duo with Embiid there. Harden would play as a point guard and Embiid would score like always. This would bring an extra power to Sixers. They are already doing very nice in the regular season and they can perform better than this in the playoffs like this.

I think I read one report stating that Harden had wanted a role similar to what he was in Houston.

This was simply not possible. In Houston he was a one man show that could do whatever he wanted whenever he wanted. The Nets had a Big 3 which will obviously not work out with an individualistic approach like this.

The Nets will be remembered as one of the biggest whatifs in NBA history.

That rumor should be fake, Harden cannot expect that as he knows in the first place that he is playing with Irving and Durant who are also great scorers, he can contribute but he cannot do everything he wants like his role when he was still with the Houston Rockets, Harden was traded but Nets are not happy, so they trade him again, hopefully, he'll find a place to stay longer at Philly.

Hopefully it is. I root for the 76ers so obviously want them to succeed.

But actions speak louder than words. We saw exactly what Harden did with the Brooklyn Nets by essentially pretending to have an injury to sit out games. It was clear that he wanted out as he was fed up with Kyrie being unavailable for half the games and Durant injured.

I don't think that either the Nets or the 76ers will be competing for the championship or be in the finals this year anyway, so this trade may be less important than we imagine as fans.
