Following a 3-0 week for the Sixers, Sean is joined by Bryan Toporek to zoom out and discuss the trade market landscape with the deadline two weeks away.
How much fire is there to the James Harden smoke, and what financial levers would have to be pulled to get him to Philadelphia this summer? If Daryl Morey doesn’t break fans’ hearts by keeping Ben Simmons beyond the trade deadline, which of the rumored destinations make the most sense?
