James Harden To 76ers, Ben Simmons To Nets: Know Everything And Twitter Reactions on the Trade
Earlier, several reports claimed that James Harden was not happy at Brooklyn Nets. Furthermore, the absence of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving made Harden carry the Nets.
Nets are currently on a 9 game losing streak and are on 8th.
On the other hand, Ben Simmons failed to appear in any of the games for the 76ers because of his poor performance and reaction from the playoffs game last season. Simmons refused to play for 76ers and was sidelined for the whole season.
Now, he will be teaming up with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving for the rest of the season. On the other hand, it will be interesting to see how Harden will team up with Joel Embiid who is impressing everyone with his performance.
So, now let’s have a look at some of the best tweets and some reactions from Twitter on the Harden-Simmons trade deal.

Interesting fact. Irving was on the sidelines for most of the season and when he returned back, he was only allowed to play away matches. Also, by then Durant sustained an injury.

The only issue in the trade.
According to sources, the #Sixers are refusing to put Matisse Thybulle in the deal with the #BrooklynNets for James Harden. That's the hold up. All other issue are agreed upon.
