The NBA trade deadline was Thursday afternoon, and perhaps the biggest deal of the day involved the Brooklyn Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Nets shipped James Harden and Paul Millsap to Philadelphia for Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, and two first-round draft picks.

Anthony Gargano was live on the air on 97.5 The Fanatic in Philly when news of the trade broke.

"It is done!" he said excitedly. "Oh my God, there it is!"

Gargano was ecstatic. He said the move suddenly gives the Sixers a new trajectory.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a spring!" he said. "Ladies and gentlemen, we have a chance! Ladies and gentlemen, the process lives! Let it sink in."

Gargano looked back at the misery the franchise has been through since winning the NBA championship in 1983. He recalled all the previous names drafted and traded, the playoff appearances and exits, and even the emergence of Allen Iverson.

"But even the mighty A.I. could only get us to the Finals and not a win," he said. "And since A.I., it has been down and down and down until we dive into something called The Process."

But even still, Gargano summed up his emotions in real-time.

"What a glorious day!"
