I’d prefer Green over Edwards. But it’s always Lillard or put eyes on the future.

After Harris (idc what we get) and Ben is gone (for the right deal) there is merit on moving from Embiid only if and only if Luka is available that’s it.

Because RoCo is garbage.

Thybulle was getting 5 block 5 steal games in college.

If he can get 2+ stl 2 blkS in the NBA...

One player gets more than 2 steals and it's Jimmy Butler.

There are 30 guys in the NBA scoring 20ppg.
Ok? Your point is? No sane person allows a Thybulle to hold up a trade for a legitimate superstar like Lillard. Lillard wins us a championship. Simmons and Thybulle don't.

Exactly, how much pain can ya'll endure?! I'm 35 and havent sniffed a title. We deserve a super team. Once you have Dame - Joel - TObias, you can pick and choose some vet role players. If Portland wanted to trade Dame you bet your ass they will demand Ben, Tyrese, Thybulle AND Picks.

They need to move Ben this summer. But it legit has to be for a superstar or a young potential superstar. These run of the mill trades for players like DLO isn’t going to improve the team. They need to move him for ELITE TALENT.

we are absolutely setting up for Dame to not really be available , at least at what Morey is offering, and for the fans to rewrite history on this in destroying him for not getting him and thats why this team never wins a title. Meanwhile, in reality, Dame was never actually available.

Ben to GSW for 7th pick and filler will end up being the deal and Sixers Twitter/RealGM/LinkedIn will burn to the ground.

Ben’s not leaving if that’s the deal

Read on Twitter



If deal gets done between 76ers & Twolves for Simmons it will be the 3rd option listed in this article IMO.

Lowry is the needed piece for Morey to pull the trigger.

I’d only trade Ben for Anthony Edwards. Anything less than that, I’d rather have Ben stay here and smoke hopium that he improves.

If I want DLo, then I’ll just draft Hyman or Osunmu with the 28th pick.

Just peeped his profile and saw T'Wolves fans calling us deluded, meanwhile we're taking a 35 year old point guard, a guy in jail for domestic assault, a young role player who is overachieving on a bad team, and a first round pick 2 years from now in proposed trades.

Yes, definitely, we're the ones not in touch with reality. Are there any other franchises that want to rob us right now? We'll give you Embiid for your problematic players or guys about to hit FA!

Obviously we would want Kyle Lowry... signed to a two year home town discount type deal, to compliment Embiid and Ben or whoever we end up trading Ben for... Didnt think I'd have to clarify this, but no thanks if we need to sign and trade Ben Simmons for the right to pay him 66M over 3 years. What in the world?

You know why the Wolves want Ben?

Think of this KAT pick and popping on Ben.
DLo setting invert screen on Ben.
DLo and Ben PnR while KAT spacing the floor.

These actions opens opportunities for Ben to drive to the rim.

Remember how Ben’s chemistry with JJ and Dario, he can have that with those 2.

Man.. if I’m rich paul, I’ll even demand Ben to be traded to the Wolves.

Ben is the perfect frontcourt player to play with KAT. And the perfect backcourt player for DLo. Even on defense.

Sorry dude, I posted a Philly writer article using his own Twitter account. If you got issues with the trade options he wrote about take it up with him.

I happen to agree with him on his 3rd option and I also stated “if it gets done”.

If it don’t, it don’t. No sweat.

Relax.

Apology accepted. Thanks for stopping by, we don't like that trade.

Ooooh boy…

76ers fans holding out hope a Simmons trade can fetch them Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Zach LaVine or Bradley Beal.

Unless 76ers want to let go of other assets those players will not be available to Morey in a Simmons trade.


Ah yes, I need to calm down. The above potential trades have infinitely more likelihood of occurring than a random blog with zero credibility you dug up as some form of credence.

I 100% agree that KAT would be about as a good of fit for Simmons as can be, but there are definitely reasons why it may not work out.

For Simmons/Paul, he'd be going to a terrible team and a small market. Is Minnesota really the only team he would want to be traded to?

For the Sixers, what can they offer to improve the team whether it's from them or a third team?

For Minnesota, do they think Simmons is worth the price for whatever the Sixers/third team want to get them to where they want to be?

I dont believe in market size.

For Ben, it will be the best thing that will happen to his career. Not to mention, KAT and him can play call of duty after every game

For Sixers, i need anthony edwards.

For wolves, Ben is worth the price to pay. Because it will unlock KAT, DLO and Ben. While wolves has been in the dumpster for quite some time already
