NBA: The simmering bombshell: James Harden by Ben Simmons

The next February 10 closes the NBA market and there are some great stars on which doubts hover. One of them is Ben Simmons. The base is still in the Sixers, with whom he has not played any games this season. He ended up being very questioned in the previous one, when he was little less than responsible for the elimination of the team in the playoffs, and said that he would not play with the franchise again. Philadelphia.

So far it has been impossible to transfer a player who he declared himself a rebel and that he is losing a large amount of money in fines for not attending training sessions and games. The Sixers don’t want to sell off a player with All Star vitola and in his high demands for a transfer lies the entrenchment of the situation. They want a big star in return and an operation of such weight may not be able to be carried out until the summer.

According to journalist Shams Charania, from The Athletic, the Sixers would be willing to wait to make a trade with Simmons if it is with James Harden, whose contract ends in the summer, but has a player option with the Nets for $47.3 million for the next season. ‘The beard’ has hinted on several occasions that continuing in Brooklyn, but has already turned down at least one franchise extension offer.

Daryl Morey as claim

The general manager of the Sixers is Daryl Morey, with whom Harden coincided in the Rockets. For the manager, he is a fetish player on whom he built a team that changed the NBA game with his massive use of the triple. When the star came out Houston, it was already speculated with a possible arrival in Philadelphia to meet again with Morey.

Harden is one of the hot names the Sixers would trade Simmons for and his more than $110 million in receivables through 2025. They’re also on the list. Damian Lillardstar of disappointments Blazers, Y Bradley Beal, leader of the Wizards. If any of these operations bear fruit, either before the market closes or in the summer, it will be one of the bombings of the NBA.
