Ben Simmons trades go here (and here only): Expect warnings if not following forum rules

[Brick Layer]

I love Tim MacMahon so much. All the reports are out about Lacob getting fined $50k for his comments on Simmons.

The way I see it Joe Lacob just spent $50,000 to shut down all of the potential Warrior rumors regarding trading for Ben Simmons.

[MoneyTalks41890]

Definitely see a Simmons trade as more likely now.

I don’t have much in the way of originality to add, but I wonder who the best third team is. Cleveland not a bad one. Beasley in theory is a fit in Philly.

Directionally Memphis makes sense as a third team but I’m in the dark on how to value their guys. Like Melton, Brooks, maybe others could work for Philly, but are they good enough?

Philly one Biid set back away from giving Ben for CJ straight up. Morey played himself .

yes in short this nothing but a trip to grocery store for him

[Case2012]

CJ and Roco plus 2 firsts for Simmons and Danny Green should be the deal.

Dame
Powell
Simmons
Nance JR
Nurk

CJ
Thybulle
Roco
Harris
Embiid

Portland solves their defense and playmaking while Philly gets their shot creator and a second closer option. Both teams are better even though Portland overpays. Maybe the second pick should be a pick swap.

vegas doesnt have have odds of blazers trading for him but yes thats the best deal out there for the 76ers to win. That deal wont be legal until December 14th
Curry and ben for RoCO and CJ works out now . If the 76ers can wait that long while the season well under way then you take the first deal.

As of now? the 76ers just signed danny green. You cant just trade them after you signed them. There's a grace period. 3month period. or the 14th DEC.

[Case2012]

I thought they traded for him last year though…

What would a Nets blogger know about Ben Simmons? Other than what Rich Paul puts out there to everyone in the NBA media trying desperately to get his guy traded.

I think the 76ers are just going to let him end his career. Even if he plays just one game for them, they'll trade him IMO, but until then they will not trade him.

I don't see how you be the team that sets a precedent for allowing a player locked up for 4 years to force his way out like this. It's not like anything great is on the table now anyway. If somehow you find a way to get Lillard or Beal in the meantime, you do it, but short of that why not sit him and see if you have addition by subtraction or just let Embiid sit out the year and have a lotto pick next year and a well rested Embiid.

I still think this will end when a smart franchise puts a real offer on the table. Foolish not to buy cheap on a guy like Ben Simmons given this rare opportunity and spiting yourself to punish Simmons/Klutch isn't really a solution for Philly either.

Real NBA teams aren't nearly as extreme as RealGM trade board posters and common sense will prevail.

[MasterIchiro]

I have the Kings getting Ben Simmons.

Runner up: Cavs

No way am I sending him to a powerhouse team I could meet in the NBA Finals.

I kind of love all these underdog team are getting aggressive for the home run swing.

Kings - Cavs - Rockets - Wolves

It won't be to Charlotte.

We are an imminent threat.

I'm sure there are "real" offers out there. However, I'd wager that more than anything Philly is waiting for Beal or Lillard, neither of which will end up in Philly IMO.
