Soften for a refreshed, rejuvenated, revitalized Ben Simmons!

Who says no?

Philly because even if Ben is as good as ever, he's still not going to be trusted by another team in terms of potential trade value after the past 2 years....and he doesn't fit the Philly roster at all.

We need a PG and next season's star version of Maxey is the perfect complement we always needed for Ben.

The stars are aligning!!! :nod:

Green font?

But that amount of spacing with guys like Ben/Tucker/Joel would be worst than what they dealt with in Toronto last year.

Simmons was one of my all-time favorite players on this team up until he pulled out his entitled brat card. I highly doubt that a return would happen, but it's definitely cool that he still has love for the city. He would have his point guard job back, that's for sure.

Sure, I’ll take him with at least 2 firsts and swaps attached. And PJ would need to go back in any deal.

We still end up playing 4 on 5 which is the whole reason why he didn't fit. Also can't be trusted in the playoffs.

Simmons' back renders him 75% of the athlete he was at his peak, which makes him a fringe regular season rotation player at this point. You'd need multiple picks to take on his contract.

After Ben, we bring back Roco and Dario back.

I am a Nets & Simmons fan

He’s got no value until he proves his fitness

I also seriously doubt that Tsai will have Harden back irrespective of cost

Terrible contract.

Sixers Reddit is actually stewing his return. All you need to know.

That's because they like a player one time and clamor for the return every time they become available. I think some on there would still want JJ Redick to suit up for us at 40 years old.

Oh I know. It took them until the passed dunk opp on Trae Young for them to finally turn on Ben. They'd crucify any Ben slander prior to that.

Absolutely no chance Ben Simmons ever plays for the Sixers again. Sixers fans are incredibly loyal to there players but cross them( like Simmons did) and they’ll never forgive you.

I'm wondering if we're waiting for the World Cup to end. Brandon Ingram would probably be the only guy of interest. Maybe Cam Johnson if Brooklyn really does have an interest in Harden again (which I doubt).

Harden has still not had it clearly and openly announced that he would accept other teams besides the Clippers.

Simmons thought the grass was greener elsewhere.

It's sad that "prime" Simmons would've been a really good role player and complement to Maxey in the backcourt.
