Vegas odds on Ben Simmons next team if traded:

Portland Trail Blazers +200
Washington Wizards +300
San Antonio Spurs +400
Utah Jazz +500
Oklahoma City Thunder +550
Golden State Warriors +600
Los Angeles Lakers +650
Cleveland Cavaliers +700
Houston Rockets +1000





Oh how far we've fallen with the Ben Simmons talks. A 24 year old 3x All-Star, 1x All-NBA, 2x All-Defensive 1st team selection four years into his NBA career. For a 29 year old 8 year vet who has never been an All-Star or All-NBA selection, and is a weaker defender. McCollum would be a good fit though but fuck talk about biting the bullet.

Wouldn't be surprised one bit to see Simmons start the season in Philly next year so the Sixers can move him when his value is higher (i.e. not coming off a miserable second round playoff series).


Lol Mitchell and Simmons on the same team would be hilarious. Maybe Mitchell could team Simmons how to shoot.

Agreed. People act like what was exposed in the playoffs is something new with Simmons. He’s not a shoot first (or at all) player and his strength is running an offense and playing elite defense. He has to play next to a true stretch 5 that’s never inside the paint. Someone like Myles Turner and Sabonis would be a decent front court to play alongside Simmons, or Porzingis and Finney Smith? Vuc and Markaneen? Just spitballin


Funny part is Embiid and Simmons had incredible success statistically when they shared the floor together this season, and even in the playoffs they were among the best in terms of net rating on the floor together.

But Simmons definitely needs to play next to a true stretch 5, ideally. Similar to the Bucks offense where Lopez usually just goes right to the corner or the hash and spots up when he's not setting a screen (and popping) which allows Giannis to work with space.

Lakers.

You can call this Woj bomb, Klutch bomb or whatever, but Simmons will be a Laker

The shooter AD/Lebron needs. It hard to match salaries unless Sixers want Schroeder in a sign & trade

Simmons for KCP / Schroeder would work :rofl:


he has a 15 % trade kicker on top. 177/5 -> 203/5
