And that's fine but what if it goes the other way and Simmons is traded for .50 cents on the dollar?

We got Morey.

You’re team will likely give up Edwards. Because your team is at the bottom of the food chain that teams on top likes to prey for your talents. Another thing is your team will do whatever it takes to just make the playoffs. Specially after the success of the Suns.

Darryl Morey has lost trades before too. Don't forget that.

I'm willing to bet that Edwards is not on the table especially for Simmons. Who are the wolves bidding against? The kings? They're not giving up Fox. Maybe you guys can get Lavine which would be a good fit or McCollum but I don't see any team giving up the asset that you think. Atleast not this offseason. I think his value increases if he stays with the Sixers one more year.

Yeah. But Morey likes to build with two guys who can take over games (yao+tmac or RW+Harden or cp3+Harden).

He’d be crazy if he sees that with Beasley and Rubio.

I’d trade Tobi for Cj then Ben for Love and Sexton, at worst

Suggs isn’t gonna solve our problem.

I’ll ship it to a third team instead

Suggs is a future superstar. Gonna end up being the best player in the draft imo. Love him

Completely agree. Beasley and Rubio would be laughable for you guys lol. You should keep Ben in that scenario.

Thanks for being open minded. Yes, i mean the whole thing for trading Ben is we need someone who can create shots and Beasley and Rubio are not the guys we need.

I’d rather trade Ben for Julius Randle, Sabonis or Sexton.

I'll be floored if it doesn't happen. It looks way to easy out there for him, he's so smooth too. Well see

And even Sixers fan interest in McCollum is kind of divided, but I get the sense, anyone worse than him is where the line is drawn and all fans are in agreement on that.

Would people here agree with that general stance?

CJ sucks imo.

He can shooot off the dribble sure but feels like he is easy to shut down. And thats kinda all he does. Which is fine because thats what we need I guess but meeeeeh.

CHRISTMAS HAS COME EARLY, THERE IS A GOD, REJOICE!!!

I finally can watch the sixers play effective 5v5 bball soon!!!

Slick SickSir · Post #1730 » by **Slick SickSir** » Tue Jul 13, 2021 7:02 pm

Can you sign and trade in a deal with multiple players?

Lowery, FVV, boucher for simmons, hill, 28?

Idk how that is value wise but thats intriguing

You will repent when we trade for another center and have Doc start him at the 2

I think he can be the 3rd best player on a championship team. However one defines that type of player. I think he's pretty good though. I mean, he's not a superstar, he's a fringe all star, but one of the better fringe all stars in the league IMO.

no to CJ, no to Lowry, no to Beal, no to the trash pile that TWolves fans keep trying to pawn off.

If we get CJ we need to pair him with some kind of defensive wing who can shot 3s and that force us to resign Danny even if it means increasing his salary. Even if Maxey keeps improving his defense he, CJ and Seth is a seriously challenged rotation size wise.

Unless we trade Harris we would be comitted to him as number 2

A trade for CJ needs to include Covington

I would rather SGA, Levine, or Fox but I would be okay with the right package surrounding McCollum or Tyrese Haliburton.

I would accept a McCollum and Covington for Simmons and Curry.

I dunno if I'm more upset at Raptors fans trying to pawn Lowry off like he's an actual asset and not a FREE AGENT or TWOLVES fans trying to act like "Hey, our top 3 players are untouchable for Simmons."

If your TOP 3 players were all better than Simmons you wouldn't have been like 30 games under .500

What's people's issue with Beal? He's a stud. Sixers would be lucky to even have a chance at him for Simmons.

Almost every Sixers fan would drive Simmons to Washington to get Beal.

Philadelphia Sixers get Kyle Lowry, Malik Beasley, Jarrett Culver, Jake Layman & Two 1st RD picks

Toronto Raptors get Ricky Rubio

Minnesota Timberwolves get Ben Simmons & George Hill.

Lowry is from Philly & can elevate them to a championship contender the way Chris Paul did for the Suns. Sixers need that veteran lead point guard that can teach the young guys how to play winning basketball.
