This sounds pretty fair for both sides. I just wonder if DM would agree or would resort to calling it overpay. I think we all know the answer. Who am I kidding.
I discussed this in the discord, but i would agree to that trade. Preferably keep Drummond like someone mentioned and replace that with a pick or something, as he's a valuable backup to Embiid for their run this season (they lack size otherwise).
Maxey is off limits, he won't be included. Curry would essentially be replaced with Patty Mills which is fine by me (pretty even replacement), and Thybulle would be tough to lose but replacing him with Harden is a no brainer. Simmons of course hasn't played so his absence wouldn't even matter to the current team this season.
If a deal isn't done today, don't be surprised if you hear rumors about Tobias Harris being moved (either today or this off-season). When Tobias gets moved, that's a sign that the Sixers plan to sign Harden straight up in the off-season. The Nets should get what they can now for Harden because he's walking after the season.

Brooklyn Nets superstar James Harden reportedly wants a move to the Philadelphia 76ers ahead of Thursday's 2022 NBA trade deadline, but he hasn't formally requested it because he's worried about the potential public backlash.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported Harden is "hopeful" the Sixers front office, led by his former Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey, can pull off a deal, but Woj noted the sides have "yet to become engaged in serious dialogue" ahead of the 3 p.m. ET deadline.
Harden previously requested a trade from the Rockets ahead of last year's deadline and was ultimately dealt to the Nets to link up with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving last January.
