good point, this was filmed yesterday for sure

It’s interesting to me that windhorst not only mentioned Indiana but also mentioned then in a way that they not only could but would be willing to put offer a package few teams could rival. And he mentions having all of their picks. What if it’s just Brogdon warren and multiple firsts? Or Brogdon, filler, and 3 firsts

I'd do it!

According to the trade checker here, filler isn't needed since Indy is under the cap. So you could have Brogdon + firsts/swap. Given Brogdon's health, I assume the picks would be unprotected.

Pics are always protected.

If we could get Brogdon and a first I’m good. Brogdon is the better player and will no doubt help in the playoffs more.

[Madd Squabbles]

I would want 4 picks in addition to Brogdan to even consider that offer. He's an average starter and gives us no real shot at winning a championship.

Not gonna happen cappin!. 21-6-5 on 39% high volume 3 point shooting qualifies as average these days!?! People keep pointing out the flaws of every player coming back in a Simmons trade but keep forgetting that Simmons has the biggest flaw the NBA has ever seen in a player before. When Simmons is long retired he will go down in history as the NBA player that refused to shoot.

[Simmons25]

Ok. Not gonna beg hard for a mere 3&D player just give us another pick then

That would be a robbery on our part, so you'd better keep Ben.

Hahaha how is it a robbery, none of the guys you are giving will ever be allstars. And Ben is not just an allstar but also an All NBA player. Sure he can go renegade but he’s still under contract.

If we want Keldon Johnson or Vassell, we can just draft one with a mid to low first round pick. Probably get us ever a better player than Murray or White.

Ben's a "crumb bum piece of ****" I seem to remember Philly fans calling him. Why are we all still trying to convince everyone he is an allstar/All NBA player. In the last few months I keep hearing the guy hasn't improved since he was drafted, is soft, has no work ethic, is arrogant, gave up on the team, is the reason Butler left , is the sole reason we traded for Horford , is shooting with the wrong hand, doesn't work on his free throws and as awful as all of that is... is still owed a massive $147 million dangling around his neck like a weight.

And people are out here saying he is All NBA player and deserves that similar talent back in return Everyone says one thing and then all acts the other way. Philly will be lucky to get a Keldon Johnson type player back in return and can blame the front office, Rivers and Embiid for that.

What it must take to believe something as foolish as this...

Jump out of your Sixer bubble and realise what a joke the coach, GM, organisation and star player is. Everyone else can see it.

I didn't see a single person making jokes at Ben's expense the last 4 years. LeBron's hairline too.

Take a look at the game thread for game 1 of the season.

Sorry there weren't enough Emojis in the world to convey how much I was laughing when I heard that idiot Embiid say that Al Horford was brought in to help Simmons, when the reality was Horford was brought in because Embiid's body couldn't be relied upon in the playoffs. It is still cracking me up and cracking me up even more than people swallowed it.

EVERYONE CAN SEE IT

30 NBA COACHES VOTED HIM AN ALL-STAR 3 TIMES. YOU CAN'T SEE A GODDAMN THING MESSAGE BOARD WARRIOR. THE PROS CAN SEE IT.

This. At this point I think we have a better chance at getting a star when they request if we’ve already completed a Simmons trade sooner rather than later and nailed this criteria

Do you consider Halliburton or Edwards a star player? Because I would gladly take one of them without them requesting a trade

Value wise they are close yeah. I would love either one. I don’t know what it is but fox just seems more likely to me with Sac now that they have decent thinking people there

The problem with trading Simmons for Fox is that it is close to equal value and no one trades equal value for a disgruntled player. Teams will only offer 50 to 60 cents on the dollar.

Depends which glasses your wearing I guess.

[Madd Squabbles]

Haliburton is like getting a young high potential Brogdon to me I would be all for it. The potential fit with Maxey is great. The flexibility to add players that fit with him would be great as well

Haliburton and would be my top choice of all the non-star players.

Let me use a video on the heels of game 7 where Ben turned into a pumpkin to get the pulse on the fan base's true feeling for Ben Simmons.

Run your 25 year old 3 time all-star out of town fanbase. Nice work. It's going well for you so far.
