Sixers, Nets y algo más que la presencia de Ben Simmons
La NBA se prepara: llega uno de los pelotazos de la fase regular de esta temporada. Imprevisto hace dos meses, inflado desde hace un mes. Para entender por qué se da esta situación debemos acudir al último día en el que estaba activo el mercado de traspasos. Justo el día de la disputa de este encuentro se cumple un mes de aquel pelotazo. Uno de los intercambios más ambiciosos de los últimos años, y por los dos lados, tenía como protagonistas a Sixers y Nets y a un conjunto de jugadores liderados por James Harden y Ben Simmons. El australiano no ha jugado durante toda la 2021/22, tampoco ha debutado con los Nets desde que llegó al equipo. El barbudo base-escolta ha cambiado de franquicia por segunda vez poco más de un año, dejando el proyecto ambicioso de Brooklyn partiendo peras con Durant e Irving. Ninguno de los dos se sentía a gusto donde estaba y se forzó un acuerdo que parece beneficioso para ambos y que impulsa más si cabe una Conferencia Este que en abril y mayo va a estar al rojo vivo.
