They ain't getting much for him, maybe John Wall or Russell Westbrook. Washington should trade Westbrook for Simmons and Beal for Wiseman, Wiggins, and the Warriors 2 picks.

djw4bucs Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Like how much more would ben simmons be worth if he had a 75% FT%? Even if his midrange and 3pt was the exact same as now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need to bring back Mike Conley, sign Batum using our MLE, and draft Chris Duarte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 A CJ McCollum for Ben Simmons trade seems to make the most sense for both teams. Then Portland can bring back Norman Powell. Dame - Powell - Simmons - RoCo - Nurk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 If I'm the Blazers I'd do the CJ for Benny swap. Then go all in on either Myles Turner, offer anyone other than Dame or Norman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartica4Real Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I still believe Simmons can be great but 1) his confidence is shot and he needs a new setting, 2) the Sixers also need a change, 3) Simmons has to actually work to get better but he doesn't seem like the type with that drive.

Two years ago he would’ve been worth a lot. The issue with Simmons is that he is the exact same player that he was 6 years ago at LSU and his performance in the playoffs has gotten worse every year. Simmons is what he is, very good defender, a good passer, good rebounder, and an okay scorer but his inability to shoot from the perimeter and meh FT shooting will always hinder him, especially in the playoffs. It also doesn't help that he seems to be kind of a d-bag to the point that his coach, teammates, and former teammates are publicly criticizing him. If he hustled and played winning basketball, it'd be different, but he doesn't, he has like the anti mamba mentality. Simmons still has value because of all of the positives that I named above but he's not worth what he's getting paid especially when he's a liability in the playoffs.
