NYRaider Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 8 hours ago, Kip Smithers said: There has to be more to this situation on Philly’s end that we don’t know about. I really doubt it’s just a case of hurt feelings from how that series vs Atalanta ended. I mean Philadelphia has done everything in their power to piss him off. Doc Rivers/Embiid calling him out publicly immediately after they lost the series, the team actively shopping him throughout the off-season, and even the news showing a video of a garbage can floating in a flood saying "Ben Simmons making his exit out of Philly." It was no secret during the off-season that the 76ers were trying to trade Ben and were actively engaged in talks with multiple teams to move him. Their asking price was too high so a deal never happened and now they're surprised that he doesn't want to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather the Mavs go after Kevin Love than Ben Simmons. But I do think the Mavs would empower Ben to shoot some more 3s since he wouldn't be a primary ballhandler/playmaker next to Luka. It's something to consider, but pass. Mavs should get a tough rebounding big instead, and ideally, more 3 point shooters on the wing. Oh, and they need another ISO player, but those are hard to come by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seminoles1 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 CJ McCollum and Nassir Little for Ben Simmons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Hard to feel bad for Portland with them not wanting to trade Dame. If I’m the Sixers why would I want CJ? Seth does everything that CJ does. Don’t think the Sixers are better with CJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 37 games without Dame playing CJ has averaged 27/6 as the Blazers PG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that and I’m not saying he’s a bad player but he isn’t that much of an upgrade over Seth and what you’re getting from him and gonna take that 30 plus million contract I rather not. Sixers are smarter then that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixers are smarter then that. CJ has a 6 year sample size of being one of the best scoring guards in the league. And his game is redundant playing with Dame, think he'd produce at a much higher clip with the ball in his hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the lone star Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Mavs should try to get Seth Curry back and hope the 76ers will throw in Simmons too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
