The Brooklyn Nets are willing to engage in a dialogue with the Philadelphia 76ers on a trade of James Harden for Ben Simmons, multiple sources tell Shams Charania of The Athletic.

The 76ers have several role players they can include in an offer to sweeten the deal such as Seth Curry, Tyrese Maxey and Matisse Thybulle.

Harden is currently out with tightness in his left hamstring.

Sources tell The Athletic that there have been growing concerns over how Harden's playing style fits with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.
