Kerith Burke @KerithBurkeSteph 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__SchifferBlake 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

Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBSIt 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

Tina Cervasio @TinaCervasioSo 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 @BryanKalbroskySince 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.

Mike Vorkunov @MikeVorkunovThe 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 @stewardsfollySrudy 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 @BensHoopsI 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 @NoahLevickFull 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_CarlinTeam 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 @sheridanhoopsThe #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 @_MrDoWorkSeth Curry and Patty Mills 🔥🔥 – 1:42 PM
Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmannSo 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 @MarkDeeksNBAKyrie, 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 @AaronJFentressDaryl 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__SchifferAnother connection: Seth Curry played with Kyrie Irving at Duke. – 1:37 PM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__SchifferThe 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 @wcgoldbergEmbiid and Seth Curry had great chemistry. Can Harden and Embiid recreate some of that? – 1:34 PM
Emiliano Carchia @SportandoNets 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 @YossiGozlanThe 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 @SynergySSTSeth 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

Vivek Jacob @vivekmjacobThat 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 @APOOCHPotential starting 5 for the Nets:
Kyrie Irving
Seth Curry
Kevin Durant
Ben Simmons
Andre Drummond – 1:25 PM
Adam Wexler @AdamJWexlerSixers lost key shooting in this deal (Curry). Could they (Daryl, Harden) be interested in Eric Gordon? – 1:23 PM
Yossi Gozlan @YossiGozlanThe 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 @KyleNeubeckJames 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 @BrandonRahbarKD always gotta have a Curry carry him to a title. – 1:21 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBSIf 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 @ChrisHerringtonSimmons, Curry, two firsts and not having to pay Harden. Great trade Nets. – 1:19 PM
Anthony Puccio @APOOCHNets 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_ReportSources: #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

Frank Isola @TheFrankIsolaBen Simmons, Seth Curry a first and a second round pick is the Sixers offer, according to a source. The addition of Matisse Thybulle could get it done. – 1:09 PM
