The Brooklyn Nets have begun the 2021-22 NBA season 11-5 without Kyrie Irving and there does not seem to be an eventual return for him laid out. It is even possible that Irving could wind up missing the entire year due to New York City vaccine guidelines. 

In order for Irving to be eligible to play in home games this year, he must be vaccinated, per NYC mandates, and with the city not showing any willingness to change said policies, the Nets’ All-Star remains out since the team does not want him to only play in away games. 

Kevin Durant has been fantastic to begin the year and with James Harden starting to be the all-around threat he looked like last year when he first arrived in Brooklyn, this Nets team seems to have everything they need to still be a real championship contender.

Obviously having Kyrie Irving would make things easier for this team, but they are finding ways to win games and still look like one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.

The Philadelphia 76ers are still championship contenders at full-strength, but they are still dealing with drama relating to Ben Simmons. The 3x All-Star has yet to play for the team this year and with him showing no willingness to cooperate with the organization, it still seems likely that we will see Simmons on the move at some point this year. 

Recently, 76ers’ reporter Keith Pompey reported that the team is still looking to trade Simmons and that both Jerami Grant from the Pistons and James Harden from the Nets are two names that have been mentioned as trade targets in exchange for Simmons. 

Seeing as they gave up so much to land him last year, it seems unlikely that the Brooklyn Nets would look to move James Harden at this time, but never say never!

If the 76ers are willing to offer up a fair amount of assets along with Simmons, maybe they could put together a real trade package to potentially land James Harden.

So, let’s take a look at what the Philadelphia 76ers could be willing to offer up for James Harden.
