The Brooklyn Nets swung a huge deal at the trade deadline when they acquired Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, and two first-round picks from the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for James Harden and Paul Millsap.
A lot has been made of this deal, although Simmons and Harden have yet to play for their new teams, and players from around the league have chimed in on what this deal can do for each team.
Golden State Warriors All-Star Draymond Green is the latest one to have an opinion as he believes the Nets are the definite winners of the Harden trade:
I’m excited to see Ben play when Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving and Seth Curry and Patty Mills like you give a player with Ben’s playmaking ability with his speed, the way he can pass the ball. His court vision you give a player all those weapons with his skill set … in my opinion, the Brooklyn Nets definitely won the trade.
It remains to be seen how this trade will affect either team. Harden is the definite best player in this deal, but Simmons has the potential to be a near-perfect fit in Brooklyn. His skill set is exactly what the Nets need as a guy who can provide elite defense and playmaking next to Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving moving forward.
