The level of excitement about the Simmons rumour is palpable.

Is there ANY package of 76ers players + picks you guys would entertain moving Jaylen for in regards to Simmons? For example - Simmons, Curry, Maxey/Thybulle, and 1 or 2 FRPs?

I'd do Brown/filler for Simmons/Maxey/Curry/1st/pick swaps. People sleep on Curry...he's a knock down shooter... Maxey gives Boston a stud backcourt prospect....May make it easier to move Smart down the line.

The only way I would consider it is if a third team is involved and Brown goes somewhere else with another shooter coming back. Even then I'd have to really think about it but the thought of Simmons and Tatum duo surrounded by a bunch of shooters is somewhat intriguing. That intrigue goes away fast though with the thought of Jaylen in a 76ers jersey... that's just

Sounds like this rumor only serves Philly as an attempt to salvage Simmons' value.

I hope someone is reassuring Jaylen right now because this could spiral into him quitting on the team or asking for a trade over hurt feelings.

Amazing that people are imagining Simmons as an asset. He's an unprofessional disaster who clearly doesn't care about winning or even playing basketball. Trading for someone like that? C'mon son.

You realize Seth Curry is in the top 5% 3 point shooters..he's a career 45% and shot that 5 out of the last 6 years..and has shot under 42% zero times..

Have not read the thread, so probably this has already been suggested, but... my last best offer would be Smart, Richardson, Bob, and maybe a second. No chance Jaylen goes out.

Why would we want Simmons at the salary he has, even if he were interested in coming here? He’s not shown any willingness to improve his weaknesses. Even be asked to work on it led him to have “mental issues.” He’s not gonna come over and then just be everything he can be. He’s gonna be the same flawed player we saw in the playoffs, who doesn’t seem to care about improving.

At his best, he's still clearly better than anyone we'd be sending out. It's a move with risk, to be sure, but what are we really losing by giving that a try? Do you have any other ideas on how we get any stars in here without also sending one out? I'm all ears.

He's truly delusional, if true.

I don’t care about who’s a “star.” Why trade a lot for a “star” who is severely limited offensively and has clear attitude problems while making 40M per year over the next 4. If you’re insistent on getting a star, just save those chips for someone who can actually help.

That was from a fake account.

Because a better star may not become available.

Haven't we had enough of players who are not right in the head (e.g. Kyrie)? Trading for Simmons who has not expressed any interest in wanting to go to Boston will be a huge flight risk and he may not even suit up to force himself to California.

People are willing to give up JB for that? No thank you.

[Ed Pinkney]

A couple of thoughts if this rumour is legit:

Celtics brass need to be talking with Klutch to see if Simmons genuinely would be happy to go to Boston. He seems to want to get to California, so determining if he would be happy to play for the Celtics is a big priority I would think.

Simmons, Brown and Tatum is very intriguing and has a pretty high potential celling. Brown for Simmons I don't like in isolation. If other assets came back to Boston (like Thybulle/Maxey/Curry etc) that would help, but then the Celtics really need to try and get a genuine scorer from somewhere else. Beal would be ideal but seems completely unrealistic.

I personally don't see the Celtics giving up Brown or Tatum for Simmons, and I doubt Philly wants anything else the Celtics would offer unless a third team gets involved. So this rumour seems pretty unlikely in my opinion.

Aint that the truth.

[batabatuta]

If we are trading for Ben Simmons without giving up either of the Jays, rest assured it will involve Smart, Schroeder, Nesmith, Langford, Pritchard and Richardson and who knows Rob too. Nesmith, Langford and Rob Williams are the centerpieces here.

[winsomme2]

I'm starting to worry about Jaylen's injury issues, so I think I might consider this more now than I would have in the past.

Jaylen is the superior player. There is no question in my mind about this though.

I might consider a package of Simmons, Maxey, and a first for Jaylen, Langford. I would definitely also be thinking of moving Smart down the road too.
