This trade gets rid of two players who want to be traded, and Harden wants to be traded to the 76ers.

++Nets Ideal Starting Lineup Before and After Trade++

Before

PG | Kyrie Irving

SG | James Harden

SF | Kevin Durant

PF | Blake Griffin

C | Nicolas Claxton

After

PG | Kyrie Irving

SG | Ben Simmons

SF | Danny Green

PF | Kevin Durant

C | Blake Griffin

This new lineup is very talented and has size in the backcourt but not the frontcourt which should balance it out. Adding Simmons should be interesting because he is a very talented player but I'm not sure how he would play alongside so many other talented players. The addition on Danny Green is nice adding an outside shooter besides Joe Harris is declining right now. Overall if Simmons works out this lineup could be championship caliber in the next couple of years.

++76ers Ideal Starting Lineup Before and After Trade++

Before

PG | Ben Simmons

SG | Tyrese Maxey

SF | Seth Curry

PF | Tobias Harris

C | Joel Embiid

After

PG | Tyrese Maxey

SG | James Harden

SF | Matisse Thybulle

PF | Tobias Harris

C | Joel Embiid

This lineup is also very talented and well-sized except they are a lot younger and a lot less experienced with Maxey and Thybulle. Adding Harden gives a nice smaller scorer because Embiid, Simmons, and Harris are all taller players and the stars of the team. The only risk is Harden overtaking Joel Embiid who is the entire franchise, and possibly the best player in the NBA right now. If Harden and Embiid work well together then the 76ers and the Nets could be battling in the Eastern Conference finals for years.
