Nets don’t want to focus on Embiid so much that they lose track of Philadelphia’s other players, including former Big 3 member James Harden.
Joel Embiid will be at the crux of any game plan for the Nets in their first-round playoff matchup versus the 76ers.
But the Nets don’t want to focus on Embiid so much that they lose track of Philadelphia’s other players, including former Big 3 member James Harden, who forced his way out of Brooklyn with a trade in February 2022. “Oh we focusing on Harden, too,” Spencer Dinwiddie said Thursday. “He’s an MVP, too. We talk about Embiid as MVP this year, but we are not lost or slept on Harden by any stretch.
In the days following the trade deadline two months ago, and the one-year anniversary of his deal away from the Nets, Harden said from Barclays Center that the short-lived Big 3 “was wrong” and filled with “dysfunction.”Head coach Jacque Vaughn said he can “lean on a little bit of understanding” in preparing for Harden as his former coach, but also noted that team-to-team responsibilities change.
