Ben Simmons Was Almost Dealt to Houston
The news dropped this weekend that the Philadelphia 76ers were willing to deal Ben Simmons to the Houston Rockets for James Harden. Simmons even heard from his agent about preparing himself to be dealt.
Hearing Ben Simmons was pretty ecstatic to not be traded from the Sixers to Houston for James Harden and believes his team is capable of bringing a title to Philadelphia. Doc Rivers is also a huge fan of Simmons and believes the best is yet to come with two-time NBA All-Star.
