The injury was one of the main reasons that contributed to the instability for the Brooklyn Nets this season. The team had their big three sit-out multiple games. Brooklyn decided a change had to be made and they acquired Ben Simmons for James Harden. The move was one that made all parties happy. The Nets also got Seth Curry in the trade deal.
We as fans are hoping that Harden is back to full health and will set fire at Philly. The duo of Joel Embiid and Harden is sure to create chaos around the league as they are both extremely versatile players and can guide a team to a championship.
