Sources: 76ers ‘signaled a willingness’ to Include Ben Simmons in Trade for James Harden

While the [Philadelphia 76ers] have signaled a willingness to include All-Star guard Ben Simmons in trade packages for [James] Harden, those talks have come nowhere close to a deal, sources said. The [Brooklyn] Nets are limited by the [Houston] Rockets’ interest in their personnel, and likely would need a third team to emerge in talks, sources said. So far, the Rockets’ steep asking price of young players and pick hasn’t moved any of their discussions into an advanced stage.
