Joel Embiid finally got what he wanted and so did Ben Simmons.
The Nets and Sixers finalized a trade that will send James Harden to Philadelphia and Ben Simmons to Brooklyn. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Brooklyn will receive Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, and two first-round picks, while the 76ers acquire Paul Millsap along with Harden.
Although a potential Harden/Simmons swap was first mentioned as a possibility back in the fall, it hadn’t been viewed as something that could realistically happen during the season until the last week or so.
After the news, Joel Embiid took one final parting shot at his former teammate with the below tweet.
If you’re not aware, the original post was a guy saying, “I stopped by one of my biggest haters funeral today Just to make sure he was dead.”
