Trade destinations for Ben Simmons

[smith&wesson]

Its a lil to much for ben Simmons. He is not worth all that. Just getting rid of him and getting someone to help Joel is good enough. His game have holes.

But to answer the THT at pg thing. He is good at handling the ball plus with Lebron you dont need a traditional PG. Its actually a good idea for both teams minus the picks.

I think it help 76ers. He would be a good fit with who they have already. They need to move on and in a years time Westbrook will be falling off the books.

Yeah but Wussle doesn’t exactly “help” Embiid.

Doesn’t help it’s the only guy in the nba Embiid actually hates.

I think he helps that team because they have good shooters. With Joel ability to shot i think they can work in the pick and roll. Harris will need to find his shot to help keep the floor open. Its better than what they are getting from Ben.

Lebron would be a better fit. He should actually request a trade from LA.

I’m starting to agree. He and Embiid would be pretty devastating

These days positions are almost more about defense than offense. Is THT going to be defending PGs?

With LeBron and Simmons there will be people who can handle and are willing to pass.

I think it's not going to happen because it's not good enough for the Sixers to even consider it. It's basically a trade for the Lakers not the Sixers.

He can he is only 21.

Personally i think it a win for both teams.

If Lakers trade for Ben it would signal a rebuild. Him, Lebron and Davis wont fit well.

I was thinking it would be funny if Lebron said he’d handle the trade negotiations by himself and came back from it saying “Deal is done. We’re also getting THT and a second for Simmons.”

Rob Pelinka: Wait, we…….?

Like I said a week ago it's almost like Morey knows something.

And after Morey’s failed attempt to pull it off last summer, when a deal that would have sent Simmons to the Rockets was real enough that the Sixers point guard even started shopping for homes in the Houston area, it makes perfect sense that Morey would want to go down this familiar road again.

For those that are saying it wasn't close.

Sources say Morey has full support of ownership to take this situation beyond this deadline and into the summer, with the internal belief that they simply must prioritize Embiid’s prime over the course of next several years rather than act too quickly because of this season’s stakes. Embiid is signed through the 2025-2026 season and has a player option worth $54 million in 2026-27.
What’s more, Embiid has made it clear that he believes in this team’s ability – as currently constructed – to contend for an Eastern Conference crown and perhaps even a championship. To wit: Even with Embiid missing 11 games this season, the Sixers (27-19) find themselves just 2 ½ games back of Brooklyn for the top spot in the East. In terms of individual dominance, Embiid and Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo are the only players averaging at least 28 points, 10 rebounds and four assists this season.
“There’s no sense of panic (to do a deal before the deadline),” one source with knowledge of the Sixers’ thinking said.

Or is just praying. That said it's essentially a certainty that there will be a lot more options in the offseason ... but that was true this past offseason too, and Simmons' value hasn't really gone up since then.

Hopefully Embiid doesn’t get sick in the playoffs again or claim that he needs more help.

So basically Morey is going Harden or bust. If Harden goes elsewhere or stays in Brooklyn then Morey will have quite the plate of crow to eat.

It's one of 2 things.

1. Trying to drive the value up. Then he will strike out when Harden stays, bringing the value extremely low at that point.

2. A trade is in the works already.

Me personally I would do a Kyrie for Ben trade.

One head case for another.

Kyrie could play home games in Philly.

Ben wouldnt have to shoot with the nets and just be himself.
