Ben Simmons formally demands trade

[flyerhawk]

So either nothing or something will happen. I call bullshit on that.

Every leak right now is disinformation. Doesn't mean that the Sixers will trade Simmons. But I don't believe for one second that the Kings have actually given up on getting Simmons.

Kings dropping out of the Simmons Sweepstakes

After what Morey turned down, he better get Lebron freaking James for Simmons

Damn Haliburton really made a strong case tonight!

Halliburton Barnes Hield for Simmons Danny Green and Korkmaz.

PG Halliburton
SG Curry
SF Barnes
PF Harris
C Embiid

Bench is Maxey Hield Thybulle Niang Drummond

That deal makes them a contender this season and would be worth giving up on the chance to hunt a star this summer.

Damn Korkmaz too! Maxey will demand a trade next season if he's back on the bench. But I'll do it. They will be more balanced.

The rumor is Morey turned down those 3 AND two first rounders for Simmons…

The rumor is Morey turned down those 3 AND two first rounders for Simmons…

It's hard to know what to believe, but most of the reports I have seen said the Kings were offering De'Aaron Fox, not Halliburton, and the Sixers were not interested in Fox.

The rumor is Morey turned down those 3 AND two first rounders for Simmons…

That feels somewhat unbelievable

So make it a 3 way and flip Fox somewhere else. Regardless that one seems a little far fetched If they also offered 2 first rounders.

If that was the offer and Morey turned it down we are just approaching absurd territory

I hope not

Every story that comes out about him makes him look so much worse.

Q

Every story that comes out about him makes him look so much worse.

This is where there is a major disconnect between Simmons' perception and what Morey is asking for.

And you knew this.

Like this of us outside Philly have been telling you all year.

The organization needs to know the player. Some guys can handle public criticism, some can’t.

That was never the way to go at Ben Simmons.

He is not worth the drama and never should have been given an extension. He may be done.

I will also point out that rivers flat out lies in that article

He absolutely said what he said.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Eh

I doubt anyone saw it going like this. With his skillset he was going to get the max

 

[Stakesarehigh]

We'll see in a week or so.

It's just humorous seeing Philly fans blast the guy and then expect premium on a return for him.

Cannot recall anything like this in sports ever.

Value is seen in what the player can do. The things you’re talking about are a take or don’t take decision. And we don’t know for sure but based on reports there is a willingness among a number of teams to add Ben Simmons.
