It's a busy day in the NBA with the Trade Deadline and there's one move that would steal all the spotlight. According to Adrian Wojnarowski and Shams Charania, the Brooklyn Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers are working to finalize a trade that involves James Harden and Ben Simmons.
Rumors about this trade made big headlines over the last few days and it looks like it will finally become true. The Australian has wanted out of Philly for months, while The Beard has reportedly started to consider an exit in the last few weeks.
This is certainly a league-changer and looks like both parties can be satisfied with what they get in return. Simmons and Philadelphia were wasting their time being tied to each other, while the Nets need players who are fully committed to the team in order to fight for the championship. Unsurprisingly, NBA Twitter has gone wild after the report.
