NBA Twitter Reacts To James Harden-Ben Simmons Blockbuster Trade
After months filled with drama, it has finally happened.
The Philadelphia 76ers have traded Ben Simmons to the Brooklyn Nets in order to land James Harden.
But it wasn’t cheap, as the Sixers also sent Seth Curry, Andre Drummond and two first round picks to Brooklyn, while only receiving veteran forward Paul Millsap as a James Harden extra.
As you can imagine, the trade sent the NBA and its fanbase into a frenzy and NBA Twitter reacted accordingly:
Two first rounders, Simmons and Curry. BROOK definitely fleeced Philly

This is the most insane shit. Somehow I feel like it makes both teams better and worse at the same time.
