Re: Ben Simmons Rumor Season

From Shams and Sam Amick "the 76ers are believed to prefer to wait in order to pursue Harden or another superstar in the offseason and thus want to save Simmons for that potential sign-and-trade rather than take what’s available on the current market." https://theathletic.com/3088096/2022/...

Re: Ben Simmons Rumor Season

Ben would thrive in a place like Sacramento or San Antonio where there isn't a giant magnifying glass on him and a room full of media to hop on him when he doesn't shoot. Similar to how Fultz got better (still not to the point where he's justified as a number 1 pick) when he went to Orlando. That be...

Re: Ben Simmons Rumor Season

So the rumor of the day, and this one might have some meat, especially if the Sixers want to move on from Toby. I would hate to lose Thybulle, but Im doing this trade in a second. Sixers Get Halliburton Barnes Hield 2 1st round picks Kings Get Simmons Harris Thybulle does this really make them bett...

Re: Ben Simmons Rumor Season

He wanted no part of Philadelphia on draft night. A lot has changed since then.

Re: Ben Simmons Rumor Season

I wonder if there would be any interest in a Harris for Porzingis swap with some picks to balance it out. Similar contracts, similar disappointment (for different reasons).

Maybe I'm just being selfish as Porzingis is one of my favorite non sixers.

Re: Ben Simmons Rumor Season

My biggest issue with the "Do the deal now, don't waste a year of Embiid" crowd is just how important this trade could/will be. If you hit, yeah for sure it's a title contender for Embiid's career. If you miss, then what? Embiid is stuck again. Does he ask for a trade? Does our fickle medi...

Re: Ben Simmons Rumor Season

I guess it's all perspective. There were times when Horford was here, that he was the worst player on the court in our system. He missed more layups than anyone I can remember. Tobi gets you almost 20 per night. Horford was getting you 11 and we still didn't need to take a huge hit on his deal. Tobi...

Re: Ben Simmons Rumor Season

Speaking of, Spears and Windhorst reporting that the Sixers are trying to include Tobias in a Ben Simmons trade.

I remind you that Daryl traded Al Horford and Josh Richardson. If anyone can do it, he can.

Re: Ben Simmons Rumor Season

Tobi has improved as of late, and the playoff experience of Green has some value.

That being said I think if that offer existed, it would be done already.

Ben Simmons Rumor Season

Shams throws out the latest update that the Kings, Blazers, T-Wolves, Pacers and Hawks (among others) are teams that are in on Ben. He also mentions that John Collins has grown frustrated over his role in Atlanta. Collins + Reddish works money wise. Collins fit with Tobias still here is questionable...
