The 76ers were involved in a lot of trade rumors for Rockets star James Harden on Wednesday in which star Ben Simmons was the centerpiece.
In order to get a superstar like Harden, one has to give up big talent like Simmons.
However, a trade never materialized.
Harden ended up with the Brooklyn Nets because the asking price from Houston was just a bit too steep.
At the end of the day, the Sixers still have a roster that can contend for a championship led by Simmons and Joel Embiid and a strong supporting cast of players who play their roles.
For that reason, Simmons is more than happy to still be a member of the Sixers as they move forward, according to ESPN The Undefeated’s Marc. J. Spears
