“Multiple sources including those close to talks said a proposed framework including Raptors guards Kyle Lowry, Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby, and the 4th overall pick in Thursday’s draft for Simmons was rejected by Toronto"

Sounds about right that deal is ass. Jalen Suggs at 4 might be better for a franchise alone.

Morey shooting his shot, not giving a fuck. I like it though, he's swinging for the fences and isn't just trading just to trade. Improving the team and getting a big piece in return is the key. He's honestly probably just continuing to set the bar high to make sure the asking price is known as he did before.

According to a new report from Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer, the Sixers are not in a rush to move Ben Simmons and they could be waiting for Damian Lillard’s situation with the Trail Blazers to further deteriorate.

Time is on Philadelphia’s side. The Sixers are not required to trade Simmons, although the overwhelming expectation around the league is that he will be moved before the 2021-22 season tips. That could occur in August; team executives are anxiously awaiting Damian Lillard’s return from the Tokyo Olympics, and a potential trade request that could occur if the All-Star guard doesn’t endorse Portland’s offseason roster adjustments.



Morey waiting patiently :thumbsup:

[Fischer] The Philadelphia 76ers have been unable to get in touch with Ben Simmons this off-season to bring him in for development training.[Fischer] The Philadelphia 76ers have been unable to get in touch with Ben Simmons this off-season to bring him in for development training.


Keep waiting and more reports like this will come out and further kill his value

If Toronto offered the Sixers that package last year you would have said it wasn't enough.

Now it's too much.

Time is on their side, as i've said since the jump they don't need to move Simmons for nothing.

Would we like this to get resolved asap? Abso-fucking-lutely. Do they need to trade him right now just to trade him and not care about the return? Nope. His value is as low as it's going to get right now after that second round performance and these "reports" of him not responding to the team. Why would they rush to trade him now for less than what he's worth? He's under contract for a very long time, at the end of the day the Sixers can hold out until closer to the season and let someone like Dame return from the Olympics and request a trade out of Portland.

Morey knows how to wheel and deal, he won't let this team get fucked over like BB would have done.
