James Harden for Ben Simmons in off-season? A rumor that won’t go away

What is going on here? Is there something we’re missing? For the second time in a week, a national writer or two has speculated that the end of the 76ers’ Ben Simmons melodrama will end in Turnpike sign-and-trade.

Last week, it was Marc Stein. This week, it’s Shams Charania and his colleague at The Athletic, Sam Amick, going over the same ground. Previously, Brian Windhorst of ESPN and Keith Pompey, 76ers beat writer at the Philadelphia Inquirer have also done the speculation thing as well.

Are writers trying to tell us something? Sure seems that way.
