Philadelphia 76ers Receive: James Harden

Houston Rockets Receive: Ben Simmons, Tyrese Maxey, 2023 1st Round Pick (Top 10 Prot.)

The trade package the Philadelphia 76ers should make to go ‘all-in’ from Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley would feature James Harden of the Houston Rockets. The deal would land Harden in Philly in exchange for Ben Simmons, Tyrese Maxey, and a top 10 protected 2023 1st round pick.

There’s an important detail to take into consideration. This particular trade package would not be able to be completed until Jan. 1, 2021. The inclusion of Maxey requires 30 days to pass since signing his rookie contract.

Let’s take a look at how this trade centered around James Harden would benefit both the Houston Rockets and Philadelphia 76ers.
