If nothing changes before Thursday’s trade deadline, and if the Nets continue to keep the Sixers at bay in Harden-Ben Simmons trade talks that sources say have gone nowhere between the two teams, then those would be two extremes among the possible outcomes.

Joel Embiid was asked whether he felt a responsibility to help bring Ben Simmons back on the team if he’s not traded by the deadline. “I don’t get paid to babysit Tyrese. I get paid to challenge him to try to help me win games…and they respond to it.”

I tried to set probabilities on Simmons/Harden coming to fruition. I gave a 15-30% chance a deal happens this week, and a 40-60% range in the next 5 months.
Those odds are, admittedly, throwing darts in the dark. But here’s everything that went into it:

If Harden was 100% content in Brooklyn and had signed an extension last fall (which he never was going to, but hypothetically): would the Sixers have had interest in a Haliburton package? Of the players not currently in the star tier, Haliburton was among the most intriguing. – 1:33 PM
