Only real mention of the Pacers was that they’re still in contact, but it may not be more than good listening. Apparently, Levert came up in discussions?

Also to note, it’s not common for guys to extend on non maximum salaries 2 years before free agency. 1 year before free agency is much more likely. Turner is in the same boat as Brogdon/Levert of being 2 years out.

Ben Simmons is acting in a way that collides strongly with the Pacers theme on our most recent media day.

He shines on the court (mostly in regular seasons), but how he is acting towards Philadelphia right now, is weak and should be rectified in the future for his own good.

The moment he returns to the Sixers, respects his contract, respects his teammates and leaders, I will be interested again.

So, if you're KP, what WIN-NOW Trade do you make? Considering who's available (Ben Simmons, John Wall) and who could be (Damian Lillard, Bradley Beal, Karl Anthony-Towns, Kristaps Porzingis, etc.), who do you go for and what do you realistically think it would take to make it happen? 8-)


Wall and Porzingis are names only not win now trades.

Simmons I'm iffy on.

Lillard, Beal, Towns-- I have a better chance of getting lucky with my wife tonight than them being in indy.

Just to clarify that is not a good chance.

I have a feeling the 76ers are asking for LeVert + Brogdon + stuff (stuff probably being some combination of Holiday and TJ and picks)

A lot of guys (national and local) are all of a sudden posting that they heard the two teams had exploratory talks a couple weeks ago but figured out nothing would work for either team.

Sounds like Stein is reporting that we’re offering a Levert/Brogdon deal but Philly is refusing, thus far?
