It has been just around a year since James Harden joined the Nets and formed the elite trio alongside Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. However, now Harden could be on his way out of Brooklyn if the Sixers and the Nets conclude the deal.

After the reports of the discussions between the Nets and the Sixers went viral, the latest report indicates that the situation is going to resolve soon.

James Harden & Ben Simmons’ deal reportedly in ‘Deal Zone’

Brian Windhorst recently reported on ESPN’s Get Up that the deal between the Nets and the Sixer is in the ‘Deal Zone’. He also added that the deal is “absolutely happening.”

“The teams are absolutely engaged in trade discussions. I know there’s people saying things on the record, trying to act like that’s not happening, but it is absolutely happening. There is definite motivation from both sides to make this fall into place,” Brian Windhorst said on ESPN’s Get UP.

Brian added, “But as far as I can tell Greeny, we’re in the Deal Zone between Harden and Simmons. I suspect they’re going to get it done, I’m not going to tell you they’re going to get it done, but it’s trending in that direction.”

The trade deadline is closing in and with it comes another concrete report of the Harden-Simmons deal. However, we’re not sure what the word ‘Deal Zone’ means. But it hints that the two sides are engaged in discussions and might come to conclusion soon.
