The Sixers are “baking” the Simmons-Harden swap, the Nets seem to think

The Sixers are suddenly optimistic about bringing on the Nets’ James Harden by sending Ben Simmons, while the New Yorkers are said to be ready to sit down with them at the negotiating table.

The Sixers seemed willing to not trade Ben Simmons and wait until the summer. However, as the trade deadline approached (10/2), “Athletic” dropped the bombshell: Philadelphia believes there is a way to get Simmons off the James Harden Nets on the last day of the exchange with a simple “gun”!

With the Nets going through a competitive crisis with seven straight losses — and Harden looking miserable — Brooklyn seems really open to that scenario for the first time, which until recently has been ruled out. And the reason is twofold.

In Brooklyn, there are initial concerns that Harden’s style of play will not match that of Kevin Durand and Kyrie Irving, as “Mousias” has long wanted to have the ball in his hands. This is of course relevant because…they haven’t seen their three stars on the floor for more than 15 games in 1.5 years due to injuries and Kairi Irving’s decision to remain unvaccinated.

In fact, the Nets’ big problem is that they fear losing Harden for… nothing in the summer. The All Star Guard has the right to get out of his contract – as does Irving. So since things aren’t going well in Brooklyn, the scenario of the departure shouldn’t be taken as extreme.

It’s clear, of course, that the Nets would never accept a simple swap between Simmons and Harden. They’d like some more from the Sixers, who appear willing to throw anyone or some of Seth Curry, Tyrese Maxey and Matisse Taibull on the table. The latter has long been portrayed as close by the Sixers, however, with the prospect of a Harden takeover, things could potentially be simplified.

In any case, with the trade deadline approaching, the Sixers appear to be making a last-ditch effort to get rid of Simmons. Otherwise, they will wait until summer when they are expected to hunt Harden again.

Antetokounmpo says how much time he could miss due to injury

Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo He injured his right calf in the match against the Denver Nuggets, resulting in his team’s defeat with a score of 100:102.

With about 40 seconds left in the game, during a quick attack, Janis suddenly stopped and caught his lower right leg. He quickly left the field and went to the locker room and returned to the bench seconds before the end of the game.

After the match, Janis confirmed that he felt pain throughout the match and had to stop:

“It doesn’t matter when I felt it. It doesn’t matter. I couldn’t finish the match. I felt it for most of the game, but I didn’t want to stop. Finally, I couldn’t move anymore and had to stop. Throughout the game, the pain got worse and worse as I played.”

Antetokounmpo estimated he would be out for four to six weeks.

“The next step will probably be an MRI tomorrow. After the MRI, they’ll probably tell me that I’ve torn something in my calf or shoulder. I’ll probably be given a protocol where I won’t play for 4 to 6 weeks.”

I will try to come back from now on with my experience in the NBA. This will probably be late February – early March. Hopefully the team will be in a position where we can at least go to the play-ins or play-offs and we will work every day and try to get better,” Janis added.

Janis finished the game with 22 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists.

Antetokounmpo has missed eight games this season due to a calf injury and looks set to face a similar injury this time around.

Giannis, who missed a total of 16 games this season due to his injury, averaged 28.3 points, 9.9 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game.

Len talked about the difference between playing in the NBA and the Spanish Championship

Real Madrid’s Ukrainian headquarters Alexey Len He talked about the main differences between playing in the NBA and playing in the Spanish Championship:

“I had some difficulties when I first arrived and I still have some catching up to do in the Euroleague. But the season is long, I work on myself every day, I try to play better every day and I try to help the team win more games.”

When I came here I realized this; I really like ACB matches because each team plays in its own style. There are teams that work hard in the post, while others shoot too many threes. In the NBA, everything is essentially about pick-and-rolls and three-point shots. And in ACB you never know who you will face and in what style this or that team will play. This difference makes the matches fun to watch and play. You should always be prepared because a completely different game style may be waiting for you. That’s why it’s so beautiful.”

Len, who played 17 matches for Real Madrid this season, played an average of 8.6 minutes on the field and recorded 3.9 points, 2.1 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.9 blocks during this time.

Len previously said whether he follows the performances of the Ukrainian national team and whether there is a chance of returning to the national team.
