ESPN’s highest-paid sportscaster with an annual salary of nearly $8 million Stephen A. Smith and retired hip hop performer-turned-ESPN analyst Max Kellerman weigh in on reports of James Harden being open to reuniting with former Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey on the Philadelphia 76ers and weigh in on whether trading guard Ben Simmons for Harden is a good move.

Harden has played 11 seasons for the Rockets and Thunder. His career averages are 25.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 6.3 assists in 833 regular-season games. He has won one MVP Award and has been selected to play in eight All-Star Games.
