Nets trade James Harden to 76ers for Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, 2 first round picks

Less than two hours before the trade deadline, 76ers and the Nets have agreed on the most talked about deal of the year.

James Harden will move from the Brooklyn Nets to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, and two future first round picks (2022 unprotected and 2027 protected).

In Brooklyn Harden played just 16 games together with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant.

The Nets will get the Sixers' 2022 first-round pick unprotected with a right to defer until 2023 and a 2027 first-round pick protected 1-to-8, sources tell ESPN. The 2027 pick would roll over to 2028 protected 1-to-8 again. The pick turns into two seconds and $2M in 2029.
