There are reports that the Nets and Sixers have engaged in serious trade talks this morning, and while both sides are reportedly interested in a Simmons for Harden trade of some sorts, Philadelphia remains "adamant" about not including their ascending youngster in Matisse Thybulle and Tyrese Maxey.

Jason Dumas of Bleacher Report tweeted about a possible package where the Sixers land Harden, Patty Mills, and Bruce Brown for Simmons, Thybulle, Seth Curry, and Andre Drummond.

The NBA Trade Deadline is at 3pm.
