The date of March 10 had been checked on the evening of the exchange. On this day, the Nets will visit the 76ers, a month to the day after the resounding transfer involving James Harden and Ben Simmons. The latter, who has not played a match this season, will he have found the good physical and psychological condition to play this meeting? Will he only travel with his new team?
His former teammate, Danny Greenwould be personally ” very surprised to see him in shorts. ” I don’t know where he is mentally and physically. I know he had other worries, we all knew he didn’t want to play in Philadelphia anymore. So if he plays this match, I would be very surprised. But if that happens, it will be tense with an atmosphere and environment comparable to the playoffs which could be very difficult for him.“
Can we still imagine an exchange of handshakes between the Australian and the 76ers?
” Probably not “retorts the former Spurs shooter, who had reached out to the left-hander last September. “I have no bad intentions towards this guy, I don’t hate him. For me, it doesn’t matter. I would waste more energy trying not to like him, to hate him. If he shows up and shows affection, I’ll ask him how he’s doing, I’m like that.“
Not on good terms with Seth Curry and Andre Drummond?
Danny Green, according to whom Seth Curry and Andre Drummond “ weren’t on the friendliest terms with their transfer partner before the swap, believes it’s already time to ” pass the sponge after a status quo that dragged on for many months in Philadelphia.
” I understand he has a mental health issue and doesn’t want to play with us.”continues the veteran. “He did what felt right for him. It’s cool. Do I think he could have handled the situation better? Of course, because we had nothing against him as teammates, and we still have nothing against him. But everything will depend on how this match is going to go, how it is and how it plays, properly or not. This will determine how we shake hands at the end of the meeting. But if he plays, I highly doubt he wants to shake hands with us before or after.“
