The Philadelphia 76ers have made Ben Simmons available in some packages with the Houston Rockets for James Harden, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium. Conversations aren't fluid as of now.

Well well well would you look at that. Listen, I said months ago Harden would be in Philly and the only reason is because Simmons is the best player who would potentially be moved. After months of Sixer fans telling me I’m wrong or delusional or just dumb. After Morey saying Simmons won’t be traded, he’s going to get traded.

Quick break from the blog. Aidan and I just had episode one of our new podcast drop where we talked about this exact thing happening, go subscribe!
Sixers are getting the better player, they’re getting something Simmons was never going to give them and they’re STILL bitching about it.
Clearly Harden is the better player. Simmons, in the next 5 years will not bring a title to Philly. I don’t know if Harden will but he gives them a significantly better chance. Philly, the process is done. Time to take a fucking step forward.
