Plans to opt in with Sixers Harden (hamstring), whom Philadelphia acquired from Brooklyn earlier Thursday, informed the 76ers that he intends to exercise his $47.37 million player option for the 2022-23 seaso...

Impact Harden's commitment to picking up the option ensures he's not merely a rental for the 76ers, who shipped out Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond and two future first-round picks to bring the one-time NBA MVP to Philadelphia. With the 76ers, he'll team up with the current frontrunner for this year's MVP (Joel Embiid), while likely shifting over to shooting guard to accommodate second-year point guard Tyrese Maxey, who profiles better in an on-ball role. Even so, Harden shouldn't notice too dramatic of a change in his production with the 76ers, as he was already a top-flight fantasy producer while playing alongside two high-usage players in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in Brooklyn. Assuming Harden is able to quickly move past the sore left hamstring that kept him from playing in his final three games with Brooklyn, it shouldn't be long before he steps into a big-minute role with his new club. Harden may have a tough time gaining clearance for the 76ers' upcoming back-to-back set, however, with Philadelphia returning to action Friday versus the Thunder before hosting the Cavaliers on Saturday.

Impact Rumors regarding Harden's interest in heading to Philadelphia reached terminal velocity over the past few days. The two franchises finally found a middle ground regarding a trade package centered around Harden and Simmons. The 76ers, who have managed to go 32-22 without Simmons, add the 2017-18 MVP to a roster with Joel Embiid, who is arguably top two in the MVP race with Nikola Jokic. Opinions are mixed on whether Harden is experiencing a significant downturn in his effectiveness, but he still provided 22.5 points, 10.2 assists, 8.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals on a Nets team full of dysfunction, injury and role players incoherent with Harden's style. Whether or not Harden and Embiid are a great fit is a fair question in itself, but the two figure to form one of the most deadly pick-and-roll/pick-and-pop duos in recent memory. Fantasy managers rostering Harden shouldn't have too many concerns regarding his production, though there will likely be a feeling-out period between the two stars.

Impact LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) won't be joining the Nets for its two-game road trip either, with both players set to remain in Brooklyn to continue their respective rehabs from injury. Per Lewis, Nash reiterated that he doesn't expect Harden to be dealt prior to Thursday's trade deadline, though Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported earlier Thursday that while the 10-time All-Star hasn't submitted a formal trade request, he still desires a move to Philadelphia. Wojnarowski notes that Nets general manager Sean Marks and Sixers GM Daryl Morey have yet to engage in serious dialogue on a deal as of early Thursday, suggesting that Harden will more than likely stay put in Brooklyn as the 3 p.m. ET deadline approaches.
