Trade: [PHI/BKN] James Harden, Paul Millsap for Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, '22 and '27 1sts

[John Price]

But it's alright because the sixers just give it to Embiid and nobody else

 

[PeteWorrell]

It is a lose-lose trade. Harden looks old and out of shape out there being outplayed by Tyrese Maxey. He won't be happy about that even if it is his own fault. Who knows when Simmons will play again? He will milk the mental illness angle and the back problems for all they are worth while enjoying the money and lifestyle.

 

[BB88]

Harden is scoring for his team. Not much, but scoring.

Simmons has not played in 20 months.

Do you want 15 points for 40+ mills?

Harden at his money will be a burden, not a positive.
That next contract is going to be ugly

Already rumors about Atlanta looking at Ben Simmons

Report: Atlanta Hawks are a team to keep an eye on in a potential Ben Simmons trade

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons didn't appear in a single game during the 2021-22 season. While it was no surprise that he didn't play for the Philadelphia 76ers this season, many expected him to get back on the floor after getting dealt to the Nets.

Been saying for a bit that there’s a decent chance Simmons never steps foot on the floor for the Nets.

If he were to get traded to the Hawks the irony would be off the charts.

Do most of you hold the common sentiment that Simmons is indifferent to basketball itself and merely likes the lavish lifestyle it affords him?

Report: 76ers felt they must choose between Ben Simmons and Jimmy Butler

As Joel Embiid will tell you, that really backfired for Philadelphia.

I think more than anything, he's psyched himself out.

Saw someone say "well he already got them to an ECF"

Pathetic performance today. He has always been overrated.

You won't win titles with players like him.

& why should things get any better related to Harden?

He’s clearly past his prime

Kobe said this years ago.

Houston wasn't the problem nor was Broolyn. He is the problem. Like Stephen Jackson said, hes more interest in hanging out with rappers than trying to win championships.

Not even sure Philly or another team would give him a super max at this point.

100000%

Perfect example being that most of his yearly salary is given to him in September of every year, vs the regular payment structure.

 

[MMC]

I seriously feel sorry for whoever gives a max contract to guy who average 5 points in the second half during this series. I guess the one good thing about us having Russ is I don't need to worry about the Lakers doing that
