James Harden is reportedly heading to the Brooklyn Nets after burning every bridge in sight with the Houston Rockets, but one other team was reportedly in hard pursuit of the former MVP.
The Philadelphia 76ers, one of Harden’s most preferred destinations, were interested enough in acquiring the disgruntled Harden that they put two-time All-Star Ben Simmons on the table, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Sixers general manager Daryl Morey had previously shot down talk that Simmons was available in trade talks for Harden.
