Ben Simmons Trade Thread Part 4

[eyeatoma]

If there's a "high chance" Maxey is in a Ben Deal, Dumas must have some information on a Lillard trade.

As a matter of fact, he's full of **** and knows knowing.

Lol at freaking out at Jason Dumas and Keith Pompey "reports." Two massive hacks.

Pompey does have actual sources.

[Stanford]

If Ben doesn't report, he doesn't make the all star team and doesn't sniff an all-NBA team. These are the only things he cares about and the only thing he has. I don't buy it.

So?

I would love nothing more then to make Ben either show up or sit at home and not get paid. I don't even care about a return in a trade at this point. **** that guy.

As far as I am concerned, there’s no way Maxey is traded unless we get adequate compensation. I’d rather sit Simmons for the next two seasons. **** him and **** Rich Paul.

[Sportfan73]

Ben and maxey is a high level all star package.

[Zumramania]

Can Pompey and Dumas be trusted? From what I could read here during the past few years, Pompey is often full of **** and operates under suspicious agendas haha.

[FireMorey]

Pompey is far more reliable than Jason Dumas is. Jason Dumas "reported" that the Sixers hired Doc Rivers a day after all high level NBA insiders reported Doc Rivers to the Sixers was looking very likely to happen. Not exactly going out on a limb or proving anything there.

And since then he's put out nothing that can be backed up.

Don't trust him, never have.

[Mik317]

Dumas' sources are often from the outside so they are often coated w/ some agenda. Its all more posturing to get something done asap

[eyeatoma]

So?

You literally said that he didn't and that we shouldn't believe this. That's why lol.

[cool93]

I mean if offers are trash, what is the downside of letting that bitch sit out? It's not like we get top FA anyway.

[Stanford]

You literally said that he didn't and that we shouldn't believe this. That's why lol.

I said he's a hack. He's bad at his job and he'll report anything anyone tells him. He does this all the time. I don't even trust him to interpret what people are telling him.

[Negrodamus]

I assume he'll be fined for missing training camp, right?

He is the biggest hack, but I don't think he's making this one up though. There has been a decent amount of smoke. It might be Rich Paul feeding him the information, or an opposing team. Not as bad if it's an opposing team, but Paul, then yeah, that sucks for us.

Joel Embiid wins the internet today. He is asking via tweet if anyone has heard any Real Madrid trade rumors.

Something like Simmons, Maxey + 2 1st rnd picks and Korkmaz included to make the salary work for Lillard if the Blazers rumours are true.

Then Simmons will be moved to the Wolves for Edwards and Rubio

Blazers out: Lillard
Wolves out: Edwards, Rubio
Sixers out: Simmons, Maxey, Korkmaz 2x 1sts rnd picks

Blazers in: Edwards, Maxey, Rubio, Korkmaz 2x 1st rnd picks
Wolves in: Simmons
Sixers in: Lillard

Blazers:
CJ
Powell
Edwards
Covington
Nurkic

Wolves:
Russell
Okogie
McDaniels
Simmons
Towns

Sixers:
Dame
Green
Thybulle
Harris
Embiid

I dunno lol but **** Ben.

Revenge for aiding in the Noel lawsuit?

I think they are just using Maxey to increase their leverage to get Ben traded. Morey still hasn’t traded him and they are running out of options that don’t involve Ben losing salary.

They threaten to use Maxey against the Sixers. If Morey doesn’t blink, then Ben might eventually have to make a decision about missing real games. He prob makes over $350,000 per game, and he has been playing like garbage so the Sixers may not even rush to trade him at that point. They would be saving a lot of money and take their time waiting for a deal at that point. That is a game of chicken Ben or his agents won’t want.

Next step is sitting out randomly due to injuries, followed by berating teammates in practice, but that might not go well for Ben since he was mostly recently booed off the floor in the playoffs.

Ultimately, Ben’s options are limited, but i think his value could very well only get lower. Again, if their was an acceptable deal on the table, they should have taken it to avoid this, but who knows what was really offered. Several of the rumored deal were so bad, I’m okay going this route. It mostly depends on which rumored deals were actually true.

Ben Simmons is not capable of berating teammates in practice.

Harden didn't miss games, he showed up and looked awful. Could Simmons not do that?

He already does that. And if he does, then his value goes through the tank. It's easy to play games and look awful when you're arguably the greatest offensive player of all time. Ben doesn't have a leg to stand on in that discussion.
