Although Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden wants a trade to the Philadelphia 76ers, he has resisted making that formal request out of fear of the public backlash that would come with asking out of a second franchise in consecutive seasons, sources told ESPN.

James Harden wanted out of Houston. James Harden reportedly now wants out of Brooklyn. Among the questions Sixers brass has to ask: Is it really worth trading for—and presumably lavishing a new deal worth more than a quarter of a billion—on a player this unpredictable? – 8:45 AM

James Harden said it was “not about the money” when he did not sign an extension. If he is not traded by 3PM ET, we will find out if that is correct.
The cap space route for Philly would cost Harden between $70-$100M plus diminish a roster that he would be signing with. – 8:41 AM

@Brian Windhorst says Sixers and Nets are “absolutely engaged” in talks.
“We’re in the deal zone between Harden and Simmons. I suspect they are gonna get it done. I’m not gonna tell you they’re gonna get it done but it’s trending in that direction.” pic.twitter.com/n55jOoIf7E – 10:12 AM

I sort of hope the 76ers get Harden and then he somehow torpedoes their season.
Is that wrong of me? – 9:58 AM

The #Nets and #Sixers spent yesterday talking about a Harden-Simmons deal according to @Keith Pompey, as they “bickered over pieces to add to a potential deal.” Will Maxey be the pivotal piece? #NBA trade deadline is 3pm tomorrow. – 9:43 AM

More on this storyline
Harden is hopeful that 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey secures a trade for him prior to Thursday’s 3 p.m. ET NBA trade deadline, but Morey and Nets general manager Sean Marks have yet to become engaged in serious dialogue on a deal, sources said. There’s still an expectation that the sides will communicate Thursday and the possibility of a deal remains, but both teams are left measuring the risk-reward of a Harden deal, sources said. -via ESPN / February 10, 2022
