As the trade deadline approaches, there is not much speculation in the league about which player will be sent to which team, and after the trade deadline, there may be some big-name players in the league who will be sent elsewhere.
Some time ago, it was rumored that the 76ers were interested in James Harden, and the Nets were also open to it. Of course, the Nets have recently denied the possibility of Harden leaving the team, but if the 76ers convince another team to join the trade and give the Nets better chip returns, the deal involving Harden and Ben Simmons is not entirely impossible to push.
Us media Lee Tran listed the following trading options:
76ers get: James Harden
Nets: Daron Fox, Buddy Hield, Marvin Bagley
Kings got: Ben Simmons, Tobias Harris, Andre Drummond
In this deal, the 76ers who get James Harden will also create an all-Star duo with Joel Embiid and James Harden, which will undoubtedly be a suitable combination for Harden given the successful performance of Harden's career on the inside teammates.
What's more, Joel Embiid has played an All-Star level this season, which will undoubtedly relieve Harden's pressure on the offensive end. In addition to this 76ers, there are shooters such as Maxi and Seth Curry. Simply put, the 76ers after getting Harden will be a better competitive team.
As for the Nets being able to get Daron Fox and Hield in this deal and even former talent Marvin Bagley, these players are likely to play better around Durant and Irving, and the Nets can become a team with better lineup depth.
There is also the fact that the Kings can get an All-Star like Ben Simmons in this deal, and Harris is also a player who can perform well on the court. Overall, while such a deal would be more difficult to make a reality, all three of these teams will get the rewards they each hope for.
