Ben Simmons is 25 years old and has been All-NBA, All-Defense, 2nd in DPOY, and an All-Star as the second best player for the #1 seeded team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just more of the panic undervaluing of him. The only way I would take John Wall for him is if they sent Jalen green too. Which isn't going to happen but thats the only way Houston could get him IMO. Unless they dump a crazy amount of picks on top of it and get other teams involved. But Wall is toast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he posterizes Embiid. It would never happen in a million years but I think a Ben Simmons/Kyrie Irving swap would actually be a nice deal for both teams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd still have max cap space in 2023/2024 (depending on other moves) if you traded for Simmons. I think it'd be easier to attract a max contract level player with Jalen Green/Ben Simmons both being there already. When you guys traded away Chris Paul/James Harden/Russell Westbrook and didn't get much in return your franchise looked like it was going to be screwed. And now you are on the verge of potentially having a 25 year old All-Star to pair with the guy you just drafted #2 overall that projects as a future star. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 Quote The Sixers have not lowered the bar on what they’re seeking in a Simmons trade — yet. Toronto, Minnesota, Cleveland, San Antonio and Sacramento — all of them, league sources say, have engaged with Philadelphia in Simmons trade talks. They’re also all bubble playoff teams at best based in markets not known for attracting free agents and surely love the idea of acquiring Simmons when the 25-year-old is locked into three guaranteed seasons on his contract after this one.
