The Sixers are unlikely to trade Ben Simmons before June's NBA draft despite James Harden chatter, sources say

CHICAGO — If you're keeping track of the NBA's top stories, where Ben Simmons ends up around 3:05 p.m. Thursday is the league's hottest topic.

Will the disgruntled point guard remain a 76er past the 3 p.m. NBA trade deadline? Will Simmons be traded to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for James Harden? Or will he end up on a surprise team?

Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey said on Jan. 20 that it's "less likely than likely" that Simmons is moved prior to the deadline. A league source said Sunday that Simmons wouldn't be moved at least until June's NBA draft. And Brooklyn coach Steve Nash said Sunday the team wasn't going to trade Harden.
