费城76人队在今年夏天秘密签下了老将PJTucker。这位前NBA冠军拒绝了其他球队的兴趣，以便与76人队签约。这也是他与前休斯顿火箭队队友詹姆斯·哈登重聚的机会。事实证明，塔克和哈登已经密谋将他们的才华带到费城有一段时间了。根据塔克的说法，这次重聚筹备了一年:凯尔·纽贝克(KyleNeubeck)在塔克被迫离开布鲁克林篮网队后，在塔克之前七个月抵达费城。然而，根据塔克最近的承认，哈登可能在上个赛季开始之前就已经打算离开网队了。当2021-22赛季开始时，他已经在布鲁克林迈出一只脚了吗？至于塔克，他去年夏天结束了与迈阿密热火队的签约。他最近的揭露是否意味着南海滩不是他的第一选择？不管情况如何，前火箭队队友现在回到了同一战线。塔克现在希望将他标志性的坚韧带到费城，因为他希望帮助这支球队今年争夺冠军。另一方面，哈登到目前为止一直在76人队，他显然完全致力于这项事业。

‘We were trying to come the year before’: PJ Tucker drops truth bomb on long-term Sixers plot with James Harden
原文：
The Philadelphia 76ers made a huge under-the-radar signing when they brought in veteran PJ Tucker into the mix this summer. The one-time NBA champ turned down interest from other teams in order to sign with the Sixers. It was also an opportunity for him to reunite with former Houston Rockets teammate James Harden.
As it turns out, Tucker and Harden have been plotting to take their talents to Philly for quite some time now. According to Tucker, this reunion was one year in the making :

Harden arrived in Philly seven months before Tucker did after the latter forced his way out of the Brooklyn Nets. Based on Tucker’s recent admission, however, it’s possible that Harden was actually plotting to leave the Nets even before the start of the previous season. Did he already have one foot out the door in Brooklyn when the 2021-22 season began?
As for Tucker, he ended up signing with the Miami Heat last summer. Does his recent revelation mean that South Beach wasn’t his first choice?
Whatever the case may be, the former Rockets teammates are now back together on the same side. Tucker will now hope to bring his trademark toughness to Philly as he looks to help this team compete for a title this year.
Harden, on the other hand, has been all-in on the Sixers thus far, and he is clearly fully committed to the cause.
