Steph Curry made Alec Burks tumble before he nailed a three. Burks was also the defender on Steph when he hit his record-breaking three the Garden. – 10:42 PM Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Blake Griffin on the trade: “I think we got better.” Calls Drummond a monster down low, Curry gives them more shooting and Simmons is a great talent. Thinks the Nets have the environment to help him succeed. – 10:41 PM Dave Early @DavidEarly

Kevin Durant on the fit with Ben Simmons, Seth Curry and Andre Drummond going forward: “That’s a good question.

Nets’ Kevin Durant on integrating Ben Simmons, Seth Curry & new pieces after James Harden trade on TNT: “I feel like we’ve got versatile players.

It just occurred to me that teams Doc Rivers was coaching have now traded away both his literal son (Austin Rivers) and his son-in-law (Seth Curry, married to Callie Rivers). And then there’s the Paul George stuff. – 5:50 PM Rob Mahoney @RobMahoney

So is it a Brooklyn Big Three anymore? I think no … #Nets more like 1 1/2 when Durant comes back. BUT I’m liking Harden for Simmons (Seth Curry & Andre Drummond) trade. Ben brings youth, hops, pace …& fresh legs! (Kinda sarcastic but true!). What do you think? #NBATradeDeadline – 2:49 PM Bryan Kalbrosky @BryanKalbrosky
Since his first NBA game, Ben Simmons has assisted more 3-pointers per 100 possessions than everyone in the league except for Chris Paul.
He now joins a team with Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Joe Harris, and Seth Curry.

The James Harden trade (Versions 1 + 2) ends up like this for Nets:
Jarrett Allen, Caris LeVert, Taurean Prince, Rodions Kurucs, 2022+2024+2026 1sts, & four 1st rd swaps
for
Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, 76ers 2022 + 2027 1sts, 2024 Cavs 2nd, 89 games from Harden – 2:07 PM Carl Steward @stewardsfolly
Srudy in contrasts: Stephen Curry. one NBA team his entire career. Ssth Curry, now going to his 10th NBA team in the Nets (he’ll have played for eight, never got in with Warriors and Magic although under contract). Dad Dell Curry played for five teams but 11 seasons in Charlotte. – 1:52 PM Ben Anderson @BensHoops
I like the idea of Simmons and Curry with KD and Kyrie…
I liked the idea of Harden with KD and Kyrie…
I liked the idea of Jarrett Allen and Caris LeVert with KD and Kyrie… – 1:49 PM Noah Levick @NoahLevick
Full details of trade, per source:
Sixers get: Harden, Millsap
Nets get: Simmons; Curry; Drummond, 2022 1st w/right to defer a year; 2027 1st that’s 1-8 protected. If that doesn’t convey, becomes 2028 1st that’s 1-8 protected. And if that doesn’t convey, 2028 2nd and $2 million – 1:45 PM Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Team source confirms
BKN gets Curry, Dre, Simmons, 2022 1st round pick with the right to defer, a 2027 1st round pick top 8 protected, if not conveys it becomes a 2028 top 8 protected, if that doesn’t convey, it becomes a 2028 2nd round pick and $2 million #Sixers – 1:45 PM Chris Sheridan @sheridanhoops
The #Nets got the better end of the trade with #Sixers because of the inclusion of Curry, Drummond. Philly did not exactly get four 1st round picks. – 1:43 PM MaCio Teague @_MrDoWork
Seth Curry and Patty Mills 🔥🔥 – 1:42 PM Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
So many takes to get off, but a quick one: Seth Curry has been a little rough lately but he was essential to the Sixers offense this year. Excellent chemistry with Embiid.
This is the type of deal you can move him in. With James Harden, he would’ve become much less important. – 1:42 PM Mark Deeks @MarkDeeksNBA
Kyrie, Curry, KD, Harris, Simmons, Drummond, Mills, Claxton, Sharpe, Brown, Carter, Aldridge. If they can get out of their own way, this Nets team could be the best kind of ridiculous, – 1:42 PM Aaron J. Fentress @AaronJFentress
Daryl Morey got played.
Harden is clearly a great addition.
But the Nets needed defense and got an amazing defender and passer in Ben, and then Phil also tossed in a great shooter in Curry. Plus picks.
Nets are about to roll (if they remain healthy). – 1:41 PM Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Another connection: Seth Curry played with Kyrie Irving at Duke. – 1:37 PM Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
The Nets will have plenty of shooting if Joe Harris returns. Harris, Mills and Seth Curry. Plenty of 3s for them all. – 1:36 PM Wes Goldberg @wcgoldberg
Embiid and Seth Curry had great chemistry. Can Harden and Embiid recreate some of that? – 1:34 PM Emiliano Carchia @Sportando
Nets trade James Harden to 76ers for Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, 2 first round picks sportando.basketball/en/nets-trade-… – 1:33 PM Yossi Gozlan @YossiGozlan
The Philadelphia 76ers will only see their luxury tax bill rise by $5.4M by acquiring James Harden for Ben Simmons and Seth Curry.
Harden is eligible to opt in to his $47.36M player option and extend in six months for up to four years, $222.8M.
$270M over the next 5 years. – 1:31 PM Synergy Sports Tech @SynergySST
Seth Curry is shooting an eFG% of 70% on unguarded catch and shoot jumpers and 55% creating his own shot out of pick and rolls this season. – 1:30 PM StatMuse @statmuse

That theoretical KD Kyrie Simmons fit is tremendous, not to mention Seth Curry complementing them. Drummond gives them needed size, too. 2022 pick is unprotected, 2027 pick has some protection.
With where Harden was at, Marks got it done in style. – 1:25 PM Anthony Puccio @APOOCH
Potential starting 5 for the Nets:
Kyrie Irving
Seth Curry
Kevin Durant
Ben Simmons
Andre Drummond – 1:25 PM Adam Wexler @AdamJWexler
Sixers lost key shooting in this deal (Curry). Could they (Daryl, Harden) be interested in Eric Gordon? – 1:23 PM Yossi Gozlan @YossiGozlan
The Brooklyn Nets will reduce their luxury tax payment by $15M by trading James Harden for Ben Simmons and Seth Curry. A total of $18M in payroll and luxury tax combination. The savings could encourage them to use their trade exceptions to improve the roster. – 1:22 PM Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
James Harden will be a Sixer, and Ben Simmons is on his way to Brooklyn along with Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, and first-round picks in 2022 and 2027. Time for the Sixers to go contend phillyvoice.com/sixers-trade-b… – 1:21 PM Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
KD always gotta have a Curry carry him to a title. – 1:21 PM Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
If you could pick any players to surround Ben Simmons with in a five-man lineup, Kevin Durant would probably be your No. 1 or No. 2 pick (with Steph being the other choice), and Kyrie Irving, Seth Curry and Joe Harris would not be far down that list. – 1:19 PM Chris Herrington @ChrisHerrington
Simmons, Curry, two firsts and not having to pay Harden. Great trade Nets. – 1:19 PM Anthony Puccio @APOOCH
Nets get an elite defender in Ben Simmons, spacing with Seth Curry, and a bruiser in Andre Drummond.
AND… they recouped 2 of 4 picks they traded in last year’s Harden trade. – 1:19 PM Jordan Schultz @Schultz_Report
Sources: #Nets are trading James Harden to the #Sixers for Ben Simmons. Seth Curry, I’m told, also in the package. No Thybulle or Maxey. – 1:18 PM Ian Begley @IanBegley
