There’s something weirdly hilarious about two sides arguing over who doesn’t know anything about something neither side knows anything about.

Let's be real Simmons would have no problem with ANYWHERE that isn't Philly at this point. Now that can certainly change after he GETS traded and he may start criticizing where he is, or asking for another trade at some point... but he wants HIS PAYCHECKS and OUT OF PHILLY.

At this point I don't think the destination matters more than getting out of Philly and getting paychecks again.

Honestly would take Haliburton, Mitchell, or Fox in that order. And honestly IDGAF where he wants to go. If we could trade him to Latvia I'd be all for that also. What a douche this kid is :roll:

Ben Simmons for De'Aaron Fox and Jamius Ramsey works for me.

Negrodamus · Post #367 » by **Negrodamus** » Sun Oct 10, 2021 4:44 pm

I like Haliburton, but he's in the Brogdon archetype. Definitely worth trading for him and I wouldn't complain at all, but he's not going to draw 7 fouls a game like Fox does. I think Fox is better paired with Embiid and, honestly, I think Ben is better suited on a Fox-less Sacramento.

It is kinda funny that he'd have "no problem" with Sacramento, while on his long term contract where he has no real bargaining power to choose where he lands.

It's no secret the Philadelphia 76ers would love to add Damian Lillard in a swap that includes Ben Simmons. A league source says that isn't realistic right now. That source added that the Sixers are "waiting on a prayer" in hopes of dealing for the Portland Trail Blazers star.

Same sentiment being repackaged, but felt it's worth a read, I guess

Is this the first time the Simmons camp has taken their heads out of their ass and made an attempt to improve his trade value?

Aldridge throwing stuff against the wall

I think Simmons wouldnt have a problem being sent here, hence the three California team thing (the Lakers being the non team for whatever reason)

Still, I'm sure he isnt too picky, and the Sixers dont have to acknowledge his preferences

But Aldridge has no sources IMO or was spitballing

Yea, I mean, it's not really a scoop or anything. It's just Ben's camp wanting to stay in the news, so it's pretty low value information.

I think Ben would love to be in Sac so he only has to fly a couple hours to get to his LA home.

It’s going to be super sad in here when the real Simmons return comes in. Because it’s not going to be anyone Edwards level and there’s a better chance that Curry and just get traded than SGA. Okc tried to trade for the number 1 pick draft night and det asked for shai. Presti did not try to trade him. He’s 23, locked up for 6 years, just averaged 23, 6, and 5 on 51 from the field 42 from 3 and 85 from the line in his THIRD YEAR. That is literally unheard of

Fox straight up would be the easiest deal.

But I would prefer Haliburton, Barnes, and Bagley.

OKC offered Shai and 6 for 1 and DET said no.

You got it wrong. OKC, is the one that offered Shai. They wanted the #1 pick from Detroit, and Detroit said no.

DCasey91 · Post #377 » by **DCasey91** » Sun Oct 10, 2021 8:10 pm

Thybulle plus one second rnd pick for Pritchard. Need a PG and the Celtics might be stupid enough to put him in the 2/3 rank spot on PG depth when clearly he’s the best fit for Tatum/Brown.

DCasey91 · Post #378 » by **DCasey91** » Sun Oct 10, 2021 8:17 pm

That would give us three actual not theoretical Curry/Dame range (deeeep range on all 3) shooters (PP, Joe and Curry) that compliments Embiid so much it’s not funny, also would compliment Ingram if that happened superbly too.

Kobe/Shaq/Fisher
Kobe/Gasol/Fisher

That’s kind of the core to go for. High/low action, high usage for the duo, sweet 3+D guard with sick range.

I dunno love me some Pritchard. He’s a more controlled and better TJ with a perfect jumper.

Does Latvia have a good point guard?

You can say whatever you want.

We're all annoyed by your posts declaring x and y when you don't know anything. We don't care what the Wolves front office has fed to reporters. The Sixers front office insists they want Ben Simmons back.

Likewise then I guess. You don’t know anything either.

Makes sense to me then that Simmons should be shipped for a collection of 2nds and John Wall and you can’t say anything to that because you don’t know that that’s not true, regardless of what you read or believe.

I actually came here in peace. Feel free to look back at my posts here. You guys got all defensive about stuff. If you don’t like my posts then look at your own. I’m just using your own stances against you.

That’s fine though. I’ll leave and just come back to gloat or apologize when the trade is completed and you do/don’t get someone like Beal, Lillard, SGA, or even Edwards.

Enjoy the circus.
