Colin Cowherd on Simmons/Harden Trade: "If I'm Kevin Durant I Want Out"

Colin Cowherd: “Kevin Durant wants to win championships so when the Sixers send draft picks to Brooklyn, Durant couldn’t give a rip about draft picks. Those don’t do him any good. Seth Curry is a nice player but he’s not as good as James Harden, and Ben Simmons has to get himself right above the shoulders -- he’s got some therapist stuff he’s got to deal with. I don’t know much about it but he’s not right. If I’m Kevin Durant, I’m looking at this thing saying ‘draft picks don’t help me, I don’t know where Ben Simmons is at, Kyrie isn’t available…’ If I’m Kevin Durant I want out of here. GET ME THE HELL OUT OF HERE. There’s no way I like this but I think Brooklyn was trapped. Nobody wants to trade for Kyrie Irving because he’s not available. In the NBA there’s always been a rule – whoever gets the ‘star’ always wins the trade, and it’s almost 1000% true, unless the star gets hurt. Philadelphia won the trade. Sometimes he can quit on things but he’s been engaged for 90% of his career, and a bailer for 10%. My takeaway on this is that Joel Embiid is so happy, Daryl Morey is so happy, James Harden is so happy, and the fans of Philadelphia are so happy. If I’m Kevin Durant it’s ‘get me the hell out of here.’ All I see from Philadelphia is happiness and joy, and it matters in locker rooms. Daryl Morey is opening a bottle of Crystal right now, Harden is drinking it on his private jet flying there, and Joel Embiid is having a champagne bath. There is champagne flying everywhere in Philadelphia. I got ANSWERS in Philadelphia this morning, I got nothing but questions in Brooklyn.” (Full Video Above)
