Sixers offered this trade.

Warriors give Andrew Wiggins, James Wiseman, the Nos. 7 and 14 picks on Thursday and two future first-rounders for Ben Simmons.


Ridiculous, and immediately rejected.

Time has gone by, and everyone has rejected every trade.. They thought, fuck it, he'll play anyways. His stock has gone down substantially.

Personally? I want him on the team but not at the expense of giving up Wiseman in any deal, Kuminga is probably going to have to be included as well.. We will see..

Basketball, at the end of the day, is a game of stars. They impact the game more than any other league, Ben Simmons is a star & would do amazing facilitating for Steph & Klay, while having much easier time getting to the basket due to their spacing. & then on defense him Klay & Dray would have a field day in todays small ball, switch everything, league.

the owner said that the Warriors are not in win now and he's more concerned with development for the future, even if the trade is fair value he might end up just rejecting it anyway

being a star isn't super helpful if you're afraid to drive (and you can't shoot) that type of player has to be pulled from the game in crunch time

you're really denying this? Simmons was a total non factor in every 2nd half in the Atlanta series

Don't care if Lillard asks out, it's not up to him LOL. He's under contract for the next 4 seasons.

See how that works? DM you're not getting Lillard for Simmons alone. Your own sixers beat writer agrees it would take a king's ransom. Remember you said beat writers know a lot about the team they report on.... Except the sixers beat writer that is.
In b4 you reply with "LOL NEVER SAID IT WOULD BE SIMMONS ALONE. LATE FIRST ROUND PICKS INCLUDED".
smh.

This has to be the weirdest post ever, you're just talking to yourself....

No one did say it would just be Simmons, wtf are you talking about? Sixers could easily include a younger player or two, they have both Maxey and Thybulle two very valuable young pieces to go along with numerous draft picks. If Lillard became available, the Sixers have more than enough to offer more than any other team could. Keep in mind Lillard is already 31 years old...

Lillard deserves better, playing next to Embiid would be a dream come true for him. The Trailblazers are straight garbage and haven't given him shit to help him.

Simmons is pretty fucking dominant when he drives aggressively. The issue in the playoffs is he was struggling so bad at the FT line he stopping even attacking the rim, because it was in his head. If he would have attacked like he normally does and been aggressive the Sixers would have won that series, but he literally just took himself out of the game mentally while he was still physically on the floor.

Soooo much of success in the NBA is mental, no matter how big, strong, fast and talented you are. Simmons was passing up wide open dunks that he normally flushes without hesitation, that's how much it was in his head. Everyone could see he was toasted mentally and the sudden major struggles at the FT line in the playoffs was getting to him.
