Brooklyn Nets, who are on a 10-game losing streak, traded James Harden to the Philadelphia 76ers on the trade deadline day. The trade deal involved Ben Simmons, who hasn’t featured for a single game this season, going to Brooklyn. While it’s still hard for many players to digest the fact that the trade deal happened, Blake Griffin said that the Nets got a better deal.
