Ben Simmons is a PG, didn't you hear?

His problem was just the opposite... He had no problem shooting his shot

Ben and a 1st for Westbrook

Oh boy. So this is the Andre Drummond experience.

Edit - wrong thread. Disregard.

Drummond would actually be very good if he didn't think he was very good.

Brutal for the Sixers. I want no parts of Westbrook.

"Oh, let me guess, you're going to believe an unreliable media source like Shams? Just another sheeple. Ben would never say that and he's definitely not going to be unprofessional throughout this process. If he is, then it is actually Morey and Doc's fault for not trading him sooner!"

If Ben is truly willing to do whatever it takes to get out of Philly, does that mean he'll take a buy out where he gets his money this year but leaves the other three years on the table and becomes a FA?

I mean, if no deal is going to be good enough to trade him... some cap space would be nice.

Also for the record, I know he wouldn't do that. Which is the point. Ben's not willing to do anything to get out of Philly.

Bum Simmons in shambles as he knows MAxeys is already better than him :lol:

Watching the Blazers/Kings for some Ben trade scouting.....Blazers need Ben...they stink defensively and their 3 best players are under 6"4'

I may be in the minority but I could care less what Ben wants.

He can sit at home playing COD for all I care. Morey needs to continue to shop and move Ben on our timetable not his.

Bingo

If he has to sit all year so be it

Our timetable is now whether people like to admit it or not

Blazers could definitely use Ben.

Haliburton looks very superfluous on that Sacto team. Ben would help them a ton, too.

Imagine having the opportunity to play in today's opening game, but instead choose to sit at home sooking it up because someone said a bit of truthful criticism about your game 4 months ago.

Our timetable and the timetable for a trade are two different things. The Cavaliers made that mistake when they dealt away Irving for pennies on the dollar.

Furthermore, none of the reported offers are needle movers as it relates to winning a championship. So really there isn't much pressure beyond Bens antics to make a deal now.

Agreed. While every game won't be like tonight, I think we can afford to wait until the trade deadline, incorporate new talent by the time the playoff start, which is where it matters.

On the other coast, nice start for the Blazers. :-D

Kings beating Blazers is a perfect start for both possible trade destinations.

So Julius Randle is better than Ben Simmons right?
