NBA Trade Rumors: Ranking the best possible James Harden trade packages
Philadelphia 76ers
It’s no surprise to see a potenital Philadelpha 76ers package land at No. 1. After all, they have the best player of the bunch of players that could be traded for James Harden. IF, and it’s a big IF, the Sixers are willing to deal Ben Simmons, this is a no-brainer for Houston.
As much as they wouldn’t want to help Daryl Morey, the Rockets can’t decline a trade for Ben Simmons. When healthy, he’s argaubly the best young player in the leauge and has drawn comparisons to LeBron James.
Simmons may have his weaknesses, most notably his inability to take jump shots, but even with that disadvantage he’s been one of the best players in the league over hte last few seasons.

If the Houston Rockets can exit this entire situation with a talent like Ben Simmons, it would be a huge win overall for the franchise. That said, I’m still not sure the Sixers will be open to dealing Simmons or Joel Embiid.
