Recently, the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers sealed a major deal just before the deadline. James Harden and Paul Millsap are headed to Philadelphia, while Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, and two first-round draft picks are going to Brooklyn.
The trio of Harden, Irving, and Durant played just sixteen games together before Harden’s departure, resulting in disappointment.
Now, with Harden set to join Philly, local strip clubs, aware of his fondness for women, have eagerly welcomed him by rolling out the red carpet.

Such anticipation.
For Philadelphia, this trade wraps up a lengthy saga involving Ben Simmons, who had made it clear he would never play for the team again. Simmons has been absent from the team and has not participated in any games this season. ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne mentioned that Simmons will focus on therapy to prepare mentally for playing in Brooklyn.
The relationship between Harden and the Nets deteriorated recently, with Harden hesitating to request a trade formally, concerned about potential backlash given his history. Despite this, the trade went through.
Harden has opted into his $47.4 million player option for the 2022-23 season as part of the deal, and he could potentially sign a four-year, $223 million extension with Philadelphia in August.
This means more money for him to spend at local clubs.
