I Philadelphia 76ers, since Daryl Morey became the new president of the franchise, they have been repeatedly juxtaposed with James Harden. It is impossible for Barba to leave the Brooklyn Nets this season, but things could turn out differently this summer. According to The Athletic, the Sixers have decided to give up looking for buyers for Ben Simmons just to use it in the next offseason to get to a star, with the viewfinder pointed at Harden. The Nets Guard has a $ 47.3 million Player Option on next season.
Simmons hasn’t played a single game this season yet and, as he probably won’t be sold before the February 10 trade deadline, he is set to finish the year in Philadelphia without ever taking the field. An indelible stain on his resume, as very few, if any, times have anything like this been seen in the NBA. In recent weeks, in addition to the Detroit Pistons, the Charlotte Hornets have also approached the Australian, but a negotiation never came to fruition.
76ers prefer to wait to pursue James Harden or another superstar in offseason and want to save Ben Simmons for that potential deal over current market, per sources with knowledge and rival teams.
