As the Philadelphia 76ers continue to evaluate potential trade packages to acquire Houston's James Harden, two-time All-Star Ben Simmons has reportedly been made available.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Philadelphia is open to including Simmons in a deal for Harden, though conversations between the two sides "aren't as fluid" currently.
This contradicts an earlier report from The Athletic's Sam Amick, who reported that Simmons "remains off-limits" in any potential Harden deal, and that the team preferred to let new coach Doc Rivers work with the current roster.
