I can't think of a trade that makes sense to me, but someone will buy into his talent. He's 25 years old and a three time all star.
It reminds me of players with bad contracts. Every time someone says X player is untradable someone ends up trading for them.
I mean, for the Cavs I would throw Sexton + Love + protected 1st for Simmons/Maxey. It makes sense for both sides if they are serious about something getting done. Love would be a good big man compliment to Embiid and do the exact opposite of Simmons (stretch the floor and unclog the paint) and Sexton would give the 76ers something else they desperatly need--a 20+ PPG guard from all 3 levels.
The Cavs then would get a 'star' player they always love to covet in small markets who would dramatically help their terrible defense and playmaking.
76ers
PG- Sexton
SG- Green
SF- Harris
PF- Love
C- Embiid
6th- Milton
Cavs
PG- Garland
SG- Okoro
SF- Simmons
PF- Mobley
C- Allen
6th- Maxey
Love is probably done and that's one issue with including him in any trade.

If he is indeed done, then in this trade the Sixers get his "dead weight" plus Sexton (who they'll have to pay very soon) and a protected 1st. I know Simmons has his issues, but that's terrible value for him. On top of that they give up Maxey too.

In any trade the 76ers are going to have to take on 'dead weight' to make salaries work because of Simmons equally awful contract.
Love can still get 14/10 on good 3pt shooting. Hes not a 20/13 guy anymore, but he is still a walking double-double who can shoot better than 90% of the Sixers roster. He has some value still and I believe a change of scenery is what he really needs to give him another 2-3 year jolt.
Again, the season is 3 weeks away--the 76ers are running out of options. Love as a 'throw in' to getting Sexton is not the worst they can do. They give up Maxey in the trade as well because his agent also said he doesnt want him in Philly either. That second player could eaily be Milton/Curry but the Cavs in the deal would need to get somebody who can shoot back. Pick any one of those 3 but I chose Maxey because Rick Paul wants him gone as well.

Not in a Wolves deal.
Just sayin'.

Well according to reports the Wolves are unwilling to move any of their 3 key guys to get Simmons so that kinda throws that out the window

So that leaves us with LAC , SAC and POR I don’t see any other team trading for Him or having the assets for him

You can also take LAC out of there--thats not happening because it would require them to move either Kawhi/PG13 for money to match which isnt happening.
I think the Kings honestly stand the best chance, though they said they are not giving up Fox--which is the only person who could make the salaries work.
Portland works with CJ McCollum straight up but thats doesnt really seem equal for Simmons, plus 1for1 trades rarely ever happen so there would have to be something else there.
