Philadelphia 76ers Receive: F Kevin Durant
If this trade were to occur, it creates an amazing thread of interwoven narratives. NBA fans should be hoping to see it for that reason alone.
How many times can Kevin Durant and James Harden reunite? The two started their careers together on the Oklahoma City Thunder. Almost a decade later, they found themselves together on the Brooklyn Nets. Briefly.
Harden quickly grew unhappy in Brooklyn, demanding a trade before completing a full season with the squad. When he got his wish, he was sent to none other than the Philadelphia 76ers.
These two sides joining forces for another blockbuster makes for another great story. Of course, NBA trades aren’t made for their narrative value. They’re made when they benefit both teams.
