The trade speculation revolving around Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons and his holdout from play is the soap opera of the 2021-2022 NBA season.
Now James Harden’s possible discontentment with the Brooklyn Nets has become the latest dramatic storyline ahead of the Feb. 10th NBA trade deadline.
Despite the rumors, according to Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer, both stars will likely remain at their respective destinations on Feb. 11th.
Harden has a $46.9 million player option in his contract heading into the 2022-2023 season. January reports about his frustrations with Brooklyn’s season led to speculation he may turn down the player option and test the waters of unrestricted free agency for the first time in his career.
