This comes from the biggest deal of the trade deadline featuring his former teammate James Harden. The Nets put up one of the most feared trios last season, bringing in Harden to team up with Durant and Kyrie. However, as feared as the trio was, they played together in just 16 games in the 13 months they were together. Now, we will see Harden and Joel Embiid as a duo and the first of Simmons in action this season.
