The Philadelphia 76ers [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/philadelphia-76ers/] are a hotbed of drama right now. Despite rising in the Eastern Conference, the situation is tense in the team. Joel Embiid [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/joel-embiid/] is in a tough spot with the ongoing James Harden fiasco. Over the past few years, the Sixers have traded away several young players who have gone on to star elsewhere. One of the most notable examples is Ben Simmons [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ben-simmons/]. He showed flashes of brilliance during his time in Philly, but he was also inconsistent and struggled to perform in the playoffs. In the 2021-22 season, Simmons refused to play for the Sixers after he was criticized by fans and media following a playoff loss. He was eventually traded to the Brooklyn Nets [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/brooklyn-nets/] in exchange for James Harden. However, the situation is even grim for Philly. James Harden has refused to join the training camp, which is starting in a few days. On top of that, Philly owes Harden a whopping $9,000,000.? PHILLY’S MISHAP WITH BEN SIMMONS Ben Simmons, too, had a tumultuous relationship with the team. Simmons was eventually traded to the Brooklyn Nets in a deal that brought James Harden to Philadelphia. However, the 76ers repeated the same mistake they made with Simmons when dealing with Harden?s contract. Harden, like Simmons, has a unique payment structure in his contract. He was owed 25 percent of his salary on July 1st, and the next payment is due on October 1st. This structure, while not uncommon in the NBA, has proven to be a thorn in the side of the 76ers. PHILLY IS SET TO LOSE $9 MILLION TO HARDEN The 76ers now owe James Harden the second $9 million installment [https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/273071/Sixers-Owe-James-Harden-2nd-$9M-Installment-Of-Salary-By-Monday] of his salary. This comes after the team suffered public humiliation over Harden?s behavior [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-active-basketball-news-daryl-morey-is-a-liar-ripping-apart-76ers-president-james-harden-in-china-stings-up-another-controversy/]. Harden recently had a party and had the club holding up ?Daryl Morey is a liar? signs.? The NBA?s Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) allows the 76ers to wait until Monday to pay Harden the 25 percent installment, which amounts to approximately $9 million. This situation has not only cost the 76ers financially but amidst the Harden drama, it adds to the humiliation.? READ MORE: Celtics Legend Sympathizes With ?Liar? Daryl Morey, Says James Harden Put Sixers in ?A Very Uncomfortable Position? [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-active-basketball-news-celtics-legend-sympathizes-with-liar-daryl-morey-says-james-harden-put-sixers-in-a-very-uncomfortable-position/] Harden is expected to report and the training camp despite his wish to be traded as soon as possible. That puts Embiid in a tough spot as the NBA In-season is approaching. All the roster teams will be putting up their best show and if Philly cannot resolve Harden drama, it is likely to impact the whole team.

The Brooklyn Nets are a team based out of New York City that competes in the Atlantic Division as a part of the NBA?s Eastern Conference. Former NBA player Sean Marks currently serves as the general manager of the franchise, while former MSG executive John Abbamondi is the team?s <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/07/22/nets-hire-john-abbamondi-to-take-over-as-team-president/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">president</a>.?

The Brooklyn Nets are one of the two NBA teams from New York City, with the other being Knicks. However, both teams enjoy a different venue as the Nets play their home games at the Barclays Center, a multi-purpose arena that also hosts NHL and WNBA games.?

Business tycoon and philanthropist Joseph Tsai owns a majority share of the Nets franchise. The Taiwanese-Hong Kong-Canadian billionaire is also the co-founder and executive vice-chairman of Alibaba Group.?

The Nets pulled off a stunning move in 2020 by hiring Hall of Famer Steve Nash as their head coach. Nash replaced his predecessor Kenny Atkinson, who was fired after four years at the job, displaying a record of 118-190 (36.3%).??
<h2 style="text-align: center">History</h2>
The Nets came into existence in 1967, as a part of the American Basketball Association (ABA). During their initial season in the ABA, the Nets were known as the New Jersey Americans, but immediately relocated and changed their name as the New York Nets in 1968.?

Within a span of few years, the NBA and ABA merger happened, and the Nets were one among the four teams that were absorbed by the NBA with the other three being the San Antonio Spurs, Indiana Pacers, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/denver-nuggets/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Denver Nuggets</a>.?

However, before the merger, the Nets managed to win the ABA championship in 1974 and 1976. Moreover, the franchise returned to New Jersey in 1977 and stayed there until 2012.?

The team hardly found success in the league after being absorbed by the NBA. With meager first-round playoff exits in the 80s, the team lost its shine. The same followed in the 90s as well, as the Nets only managed to make four postseason appearances in ten years.?

The subsequent decade began in grand fashion, as the Nets made back-to-back NBA finals in 2003 and 2003. Powered by the likes of Jason Kidd and defensive stopper Dikembe Mutombo, the Nets showed plenty of promise but ended up losing both finals.?

In 2012, they were once again renamed as the Brooklyn Nets after they began hosting home games at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. During the 2019 offseason, the Nets bolstered their attacking options by signing two superstars in <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kevin-durant/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kevin Durant</a> and Kyrie Irving.?

<h2 style="text-align: center">Brooklyn Nets mascot and logo</h2>
Ever since moving to Brooklyn in 2012, the Nets have had a simple logo. The word ?Nets? is written in a bold font and contains a white basketball below, with a big black ?B? written on it. It is surrounded by a shield-like design and the <a href="https://www.sportslogos.net/logos/view/hsuff5m3dgiv20kovde422r1f/Brooklyn_Nets/2013/Primary_Logo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">logo</a> is finished with ?Brooklyn? written beneath.?

The Brooklyn Nets are one among the four teams that don?t have an official mascot. The franchise did have attractive mascots in the <a href="http://sportmascots.com/nba/brooklyn-nets-mascots/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">past</a>, namely, the ?BrooklyNight? and ?Sly the Silver Fox,? but unfortunately, all of them have now retired.?

Furthermore, the primary colors of the Brooklyn Nets uniforms are black, white, and dark gray. The Nets also announced exciting news for its fans, as the team wore a <a href="https://www.nba.com/article/2020/10/14/brooklyn-nets-unveil-classic-edition-uniforms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">classic</a> 1990-91 throwback uniform in the 2020-21 season.?
<h2 style="text-align: center">Team Sponsors</h2>
The Brooklyn Nets have partnership ties with a plethora of companies. Most recently, they struck a massive deal with New York-based brokerage platform Webull for a jersey patch sponsorship. The deal is reportedly worth $30 million per year. Besides Webull, the Nets have <a href="https://www.nba.com/nets/corporate-partners" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">corporate</a> ties with Red Bull, Barclays, Qatar Airways, and several other companies.

<h2>Ben Simmons 2022: Net worth, salary and endorsements</h2>
Benjamin David Simmons or Ben Simmons was born in Melbourne, Australia on July 20, 1996. He was born to an American-born father, Dave, who played pro basketball in Australia.

As a youngster, Simmons was interested in Basketball and Football (Soccer as it is known in the US) in Australia. As a teenager, he eventually chose to concentrate on Basketball. At the age of 15, Simmons played basketball for?Box Hill Senior Secondary College?at the 2011 Australian Schools Championships before taking up a scholarship at the?Australian Institute of Sport?in 2012. Later that year, Simmons made his first appearance in the United States at the renowned Pangos All-American Camp for basketball prospects.

After moving to the United States, Simmons played college basketball for one season with the Louisiana State University (LSU) Tigers, when he was named a consensus first-team All-American and the USBWA National Freshman of the Year.

For the 2022-23 season, Embiid reportedly earned about $34 million playing for the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/philadelphia-76ers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philadelphia 76ers</a>. In his nine years in the league so far, the Cameroonian has earned over $166 million in NBA salaries. The 76ers star also makes a lot of money from his endorsement deals and investments.
<h2>Joel Embiid?s early life?</h2>
Joel Embiid was born on 16 March 1994, in Yaound?, Cameroon where he spent most of his childhood. From a very young age, Embiid was drawn towards sports. However, he did not pick up a basketball until he was 15. He then moved to the United States when he was 16 to play basketball. After one year at Montverde Academy, Embiid transferred to The Rock School in Gainesville, Florida, where he developed into one of the best high school players in the country. The 7' center graduated high school in 2013 and committed to the University of Kansas. He played one year of college basketball for the Jay Hawks before declaring for the NBA draft in 2014.
<h2>Joel Embiid?s family and personal life</h2>
Joel Embiid was born to Thomas Embiid, who was a military officer, and his wife Christine. The couple had three children together. Joel is the oldest and has a younger sister Muriel Embiid. The youngest of the siblings, Arthur Embiid, unfortunately passed away in a car crash in 2014. Muriel has been a major supporter of her brother during the ups and downs in his NBA career.

The Philadelphia 76ers star has been in a relationship with Brazilian model Anne de Paula since 2018. The couple welcomed their first child together in 2020, who was named Arthur in memory of Joel's late brother.
<h2>Joel Embiid?s career</h2>
Joel Embiid mostly played soccer and volleyball during his childhood and dreamed about playing professional volleyball in Europe. He started playing basketball at 15 and was discovered by NBA veteran Luc Mbah a Moute, who is also from Yaound?, during a basketball camp. With Mbah a Moute's mentorship, Embiid moved to the United States when he was 16 to pursue a career in basketball. However, Embiid's start to basketball was not the easiest.

After starting to play basketball at the age of 15, Embiid lacked some physical abilities and skills required for the game when he moved to the US a year later. He struggled to get game time during his time with Montverde Academy. Also, he often faced a lot of criticism from his teammates. However, he was determined and worked harder than ever. During his time with The Rock School, Embiid developed remarkably and helped the team clinch the state championship.
