James Harden 2022 NBA Deadline Trade
On February 10, 2022 National Basketball Association veteran point guard James Harden was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers from the Brooklyn Nets. In exchange of James Harden, the 76ers sent three time NBA all star Ben Simmons and Seth Curry to Brooklyn. The blockbuster trade highlighted a very busy 2022 NBA trade deadline season. Upon hearing the news of the trade, James Harden said "It's a time where I needed to be around guys that I know want to win, and know that they are willing to do whatever it takes to win, and the structure here is unbelievable." Fans and players were all excited by the trade news as Ben Simmons had not lived up to high expectations when 76ers General Manager Daryl Morey decided to draft him in 2016.
