After weeks of speculation, a deal between the Nets and 76ers is reportedly agreed upon.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Brooklyn is sending James Harden to Philadelphia for Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, and draft picks, bringing a swift end to the Nets' tenure of their superstar trio, which played just 16 games together.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski later reported that the Sixers included Andre Drummond in the deal, and the picks heading to Brooklyn are two first rounders. Paul Millsap, who has been out for personal reasons, is heading to Philly as part of the deal, per Wojnarowski.
Harden has reportedly expressed frustration regarding the state of the Nets, from Kyrie Irving's part-time status to Steve Nash's player rotations, and it has led to him being involved in a blockbuster deal for the second time in the past year.
Simmons hasn't played a game all season and has been centered around plenty of trade rumors himself, while Curry will give the Nets the 3-point shooting they have desperately needed since losing Joe Harris to an ankle injury. Brooklyn is riding a nine-game losing streak, and Harden hasn't played the last four games due to hamstring tightness.
More to come.
