I came here expecting to see Sixers fans doing cartwheels at the prospect of landing Brown for Simmons. What am I missing? I would love Jaylen Brown on my team, strained hammy and all.

I personally would be thrilled. On top of him being a good player and give us something we need, it gets us out of this nightmare Simmons situation.

Other than the fact that Brown is an infinitely better offensive player than Simmons, yea don't know how that helps the Sixers.

Just a rumor for now. We learned from the Harden non-trade and our general existence as Philadelphia sports fans to take all hope and bury it deep where you can never find it.

I would be beyond ecstatic for Jalen to be on this team. At that point the weakest link on the team is Maxey playing pointguard and that means we are in great shape. However, until I see Ben wearing that slime green, I ain't jumping for joy.

Sixers fans smoking that Daryl Morey — Jaylen Brown for Simmons at this point is the best deal on the trade rumor mill (minus Lillard.) I'm C's won't even do it because JB is the much better scorer, almost equal the defender, and way less the diva than Simmons. While Simmons, sure is the better PG, I guess? But C's fans won't even do it.

A real trade is from Boston is likely centered around Smart + picks ... :crazy: but since y'all smoking that Morey, y'all expectations for a Simmons trade is way through the roof. I'm so tired of this saga, it's sad and embarrassing for Morey, the city of Philadelphia, Sixers fans, Simmons, and the NBA.

Nobody is good enough for the fantastic player who doesn’t even play for us, Mr. Ben Simmons
always a jump shot away.

Sure. Maybe a trade for an upgrade can be consolidated afterwards since we have so much depth.

There could be some consolidation or shuffling of deck chairs if we got this gift from god. Also there is no chance Harris is off the bench. I know, i know. We all want it this way but it aint happening.

I simply don't trust any rumors around Boston. Ainge or no Ainge...they are the pumpfake kings of almost doing ****.

Also don't understand why not only would they want to move Brown..they would do it in division and for a guy who would help their defense for sure....but wouldn't exactly replace what Brown brings either. I mean they whole angst was Tatum taking too many shots...well he would have to take even more with Ben, no?

Doesn't feel realistic honestly...so i won't use much energy on it at this stage.

I see the news made it to the Celtics board and you knew this conversation was happening on the Sixers board, so you felt it absolutely necessary to come here and set the record straight. Pretty bleak stuff right there, my man.

Agreed. If they trade for a non-point guard, I feel like they're short one as I feel like Shake is better suited at a secondary guard/SG. Of course a backup PG is a lot easier to get especially when they have the depth you mentioned.

I don't like Brown that much BUT getting to watch Simmons against the Sixers more times per year and having him have to deal with Boston fans after Philly's wrath does make me a little ok with this trade. Imagine that rivalry!



Yeah, with Brown we still will need playmaking but Maxey and Korkmaz have worked well in that regard. Brown apart from scoring give us length, defense and more possibilities of rebounding. All things we have lacked with Ben refusing to play.

I see I know how to use this website and went to the team forum where the conversation was happening.

You mad about that? Cry more.
