The NBA trade deadline is days away, but things are murky when it comes to Ben Simmons and James Harden

As the NBA’s Feb. 10 trade deadline rapidly approaches, noise around the Sixers is only going to increase

Whether a Ben Simmons trade happens this week or months from now in the offseason, reports will continue to fly as teams talk and leak different information.
