As I’m typing this, it just doesn’t quite feel real. Yet, here we are. The Philadelphia 76ers have traded Ben Simmons, finally. For James Harden.
James Harden, y’all. He is a 76er. After spending what was essentially a season and a half on a Brooklyn Nets team he forced his way to, he’s managed to work his way into another situation in Philadelphia as a co-star to Joel Embiid.
This is just insane. It’s absolute lunacy. No one could’ve predicted any of this would’ve happened at the beginning of this season. The Nets were title favorites. Their big 3 of Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, and Harden were unstoppable.
And now we’re here. It’s unfathomable.
Let’s grade this trade.
