One of the biggest NBA trade-deadline deals in modern history occurred on Thursday between the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers. No, that’s not hyperbolic, because James Harden is on the move to join forces with Joel Embiid in Philadelphia.
In total, the Sixers sent Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond and two-first round picks to the Nets for Harden and Paul Millsap. The former MVP immediately opted into the final year of his contract, so he’s set to make $47.3 million in 2022-23.
