After reports that suggested the Nets had relented and agreed to entertain offers for Harden from Philadelphia, Adrian Wojnarowski told ESPN’s NBA Countdown that James Harden has told Kevin Durant and Nets management that he wants to “be there,” meaning Brooklyn and “there’s a real good chance that’s the case” after the deadline.

Ramona Shelburne didn’t specify when Ben Simmons got vaccinated, but reported he had just a couple days before Shams reported the Nets were open to talks on a Simmons-Harden blockbuster.
Coincidence or no? – 5:47 PM

If James Harden is truly there to be had before the deadline, how much is too much for the Sixers to trade for him?

In light of yesterday’s report on the Nets being open to offers for James Harden, we needed a small, elite team to help make sense of it all. Enter @Sam Amick and @John Hollinger to help make sense of it all. John and I let Amick’s California roots slide: theathletic.com/3113264?source… – 11:47 AM

More on this storyline
Woj also hinted that Durant wants more of a commitment going forward and apparently not just from Harden. He told Mike Greenberg “Here’s where Durant is on James Harden. I’m told that he believed they could win multiple titles with him, Kyrie Irving and James Harden. That’s why Kevin Durant pushed so hard to get Brooklyn to make that deal with Houston last year and he still believes that. -via NetsDaily / February 6, 2022
“Hey listen, trade deadline is Thursday. Kevin Durant is not telling the owner Joe Tsai, the general manager Sean Marks what he thinks they should do at the trade deadline – he’s letting them handle that, but he believes this: when he comes back from this injury, this knee injury, probably sometime after All-Star break in February, he wants a group there that is as committed as him to winning those titles. He absolutely wants to continue with James Harden, stay the course with him, and I think there’s still a real good chance that’s the case when we get past Thursday in the NBA with that 3 p.m. trade deadline.” Bottom line, per Woj: “I think (Kevin Durant) want absolutely wants to continue with James Harden, stay the course with him.” -via NetsDaily / February 6, 2022
Kevin O’Connor: My understanding is that, from Philadelphia’s standpoint, there’s no chance they give up Tyrese Maxey, Matisse Thybulle is unlikely in that deal, it would be more like an older player like a Danny Green. -via The Ringer / February 6, 2022
