The whispers about a James Harden-for-Ben Simmons trade keep getting louder as we move closer to the NBA trade deadline on Thursday at 3 p.m. ET.
Appearing on ESPN’s Get Up, Brian Windhorst said things are “trending” in the direction of the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers working out a deal:

There is definite motivation from both sides to make this fall into place. The Sixers were out there yesterday having trade negotiations with other teams looking to clear roster spots, looking to move other players on their roster—including Tobias Harris—in what looks like ancillary moves to support a James Harden arrival.”
Windhorst noted one of the sticking points for Philadelphia is Brooklyn also wants “two or three other pieces” in addition to Simmons, including players and draft picks.
