Liberty Ballers: for Philadelphia 76ers fans

The James Harden rumors will not subside and Steve, Dan, and Emily are here to talk about them. As Philly is now seen as Harden's "most likely" destination, the hosts discuss the on and off-court pluses and minuses of dealing Ben Simmons for James Harden. How do we think Joel Embiid is thinking about this possibility? Also, listen to find out about Dwight Howard's giant snake (not a euphemism), Danny Green vowing to get Simmons to shoot, and Joel Embiid's aides. Happy Hanukkah!
