76ers president Daryl Morey has made it very clear that he won't trade Ben Simmons, the team's inactive star, for anything less than a player who fit well alongside Joel Embiid and increase the franchise's odds to win a championship.
A new report from The Athletic's Shams Charania and Sam Amick on Monday backs up that notion. According to The Athletic, Morey's top target in a Simmons trade is not one he'll likely be able to secure ahead of the NBA trade deadline next month. Rather, he has his eyes on a reunion with James Harden, the former Rockets star now a core member of the Nets' Big Three.
