His value will be right where it was, which is at the level of being able to use him as the centerpiece to trade for a top 15 caliber player. Just as it was a few months ago when they turned down a trade for Harden for him. Sixers could easily use him as the centerpiece in a deal for someone like Dame, if Dame became available. They would have to sweeten the pot a bit, but let's not forget someone like Lillard is 6 or 7 years older and on the wrong side of 30.
You're trying to overthink this too much. Simmons is easily a top 30 NBA player, and has been viewed in the past in the top 20. He just turned 25, and he has only been playing in the NBA for 4 years (All-Star in 3 of them). Yes, he has weaknesses (jump shooting), yes he's a mental bitch who was scared to attack in the playoffs because he suddenly became an awful FT shooter, but teams will always take that type of talent and potential because as we all know Simmons has the tools to be great and that will always draw interest from teams (especially small market ones that couldn't usually attract FA's like that).
Morey will get what he wants in a trade before he sells short on Simmons, you can believe that. Rich Paul tried to get big with Morey and look how that turned out...
Conveniently leaving out the fact that Har_en was being completely toxic to the Rockettes and demanded a trade. Simmons was only the main piece of that trade because as I said. A superstar wanted out.
It's shocking that you did this. I even mentioned this in my previous post.
You don't put together well written posts you continually throw on your blinders when you post. You're just as bad a harass and phil. At least phil got a title.
If Simmons was on a team and someone offered him + picks + young former lotto picks vs embiid. You'd laugh off the trade.
DM. Simmons will not net you a superstar unless said superstar demands a trade.
His trade value isn't in the dumpster due to his playoff performance. It's exactly the same as it was when Har_en demanded a trade. Young kid who is a great player already. But has flaws.
Philly is swinging for the fences and will not get the asking price because it's overpriced.
Philly literally asked for a 26/5/4 on 50% shooting + 2 firsts + 2 swaps for Simmons.
Literally asinine.
It's not happening.
The only way for something like that to happen is if Simmons develops offensively and lives up to the hype of the next lbj. But if that happened why would philly trade him?
I'm not hating, I'm not saying hes a horrible player. I'm not saying he doesn't have value.
