Original title: Angie: Several times to discuss Harden’s deal with the Rockets, the timing is inappropriate to give up
Beijing time on January 15 news, the Brooklyn Nets officially announced today that they will acquire All-Star guard James Harden from the Houston Rockets through a multi-party deal. With the completion of the Harden deal, more relevant details have been revealed. Danny Angie, president of basketball operations for the Boston Celtics, revealed in an interview that the team has been bidding for Harden’s deal in the past few months, but the Celtics are unwilling to satisfy the Rockets’ high offer. .
Angie admitted that when Harden asked to leave Houston, the Celtics wanted the All-Star guard, but as the Sixers and the Nets heated up trade negotiations, this interest seemed to diminish.
“Yes, we have talked about James (Harden), not recently, but we are indeed related to exchanges. We have discussed many times, but (the Rockets ask for) the price does not change. The asking price is really too high for us. , So we don’t want to make this deal.” Anji said in an interview, “Although our team respects him very much, many people want him to join-but we agree that this is not the best time and the price Not suitable.”
Although the Celtics failed to bring Harden to Boston, Angie still gave Harden a high evaluation. “James Harden is a very great player. He is one of the best offensive players of any era. I think every ball in the league respects him very much and fears him as an opponent.” Angie continued. .
According to an insider in the league, if the Celtics want Harden, they need to provide including Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart and picks as a bargaining chip. Obviously, this is something the Celtics are unwilling to pay.
