After weeks of speculation, the Nets and 76ers have reportedly agreed to a blockbuster trade that could shift the balance in the Eastern Conference. Brooklyn sends James Harden, acquired just last season from Houston, to Philadelphia for a package headlined by Ben Simmons.
Simmons has not played for the 76ers yet this season, citing mental health concerns. The former No. 1 pick has always been reticent to shoot the ball, and things came to a head in last season's playoff loss to the Hawks, in which he attempted just 14 shots across the team's final three games.
