NBA transfer: Temporarily ignoring James Harden, Philadelphia 76ers recruited the 3-time NBA champion

NBA champion and zero-angle 3-point shooting expert – Danny Green – has agreed to return to the Philadelphia 76ers to play next season.

While the Philadelphia 76ers have no progress or updates regarding James Harden’s trade request, they have made the next move to improve the quality of their roster.

According to reputable journalist Adrian Wojnarowski, the Philadelphia football team has signed a 1-year contract with Danny Green , an experienced 3-point defense specialist. This player born in 1987 played for Philadelphia in the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons.

Danny Green has a very close relationship with Joel Embiid, and is also a favorite student of coach Nick Nurse, the new captain of the Philadelphia 76ers. 

He was an important nucleus in the championship journey with Nick Nurse at the Toronto Raptors in 2019. One season later, Green continued to touch the Larry O’Brien golden trophy in the Los Angeles Lakers shirt. 

Previously, this pitcher won a championship with the San Antonio Spurs in 2014 and made the NBA All-Defense representative team in 2017.

According to ESPN Stats & Info, Danny Green has shot a total of 655 3-pointers from zero angles since he arrived in the NBA in 2009. 

In the past 14 years, only two players have had more 3-pointers than Green: PJ Tucker and Trevor Ariza, making him one of the long-range experts at this position.

Coincidentally, both Danny Green and PJ Tucker will play for the Philadelphia 76ers, providing many quality “3-and-D” options for coach Nick Nurse next season.

After a quarrel a few weeks ago, both James Harden and the Philadelphia 76ers have entered a period of silence. 

Regarding exchange negotiations, the Philadelphia team withdrew Harden from all negotiations and looked forward to the new season. This makes the “bearded god” even more uncomfortable and puts both sides in a dilemma.

The All-Star and All-NBA guard maintained his stance on not playing any more games for the 76ers. Meanwhile, the team still requires Harden to report and practice at Training Camp at the end of September.
