The old next year as they lift a trophy and Giannis took another step. 

The Sixers are uninterested in packages returning multiple role players and picks in exchange for Simmons, according to a source familiar with the situation. As one specific example, a source told PhillyVoice the Sixers would not even entertain a discussion with the Sacramento Kings save for the inclusion of guard De'Aaron Fox in a potential deal, which they view simply as a starting point for talks.

They could hold out for what they think his value is. But if every team offers a similar deal to the reported Brogdon package, or a Hield/Bagley package, or if that Orlando rumor was true... then the NBA is letting them know what Ben Simmons value is. At some point theyll have to come around on that idea, or else theyre going to be stuck with Ben another season where his value further deteriorates. 

Wonder if we can trade 28 and George for Ross.

yep...the phillyvoice article I posted says the same. they're in win now mode & don't want more developmental guys. 

Warriors are out on Simmons. They wont/cant meet the price that is being asked.

They were probably the least attractive trade partner anyway.

I know how the algorithm can play tricks on your mind. At this point I wouldn't be offended but he just isn't invited to the barbeque.

For me if a team in the too five offers a player and pick for Ben you take it. Secondly I would call Indiana offer shake, hill and two first for brogdon. Or you wanna find a Robert hurry type player. Or call Cleveland and offer a similar package for Sexton. Last option would be gamble on somebody in the top 13 of the draft who wants to trade and trade that same package of hill shake and two first for pick and trust your scouting department. Like say if golden state wanted to trade 14.

Whoa big tweet from Bleacherreport. Bradley Beal potentially available and could make decision before draft.

He has maintained not wanting a trade till the day after its reported Curry and Klay want him in Golden State.

That's where he will go.

Agreed

And Wizards are basically forced to deal him as soon as he asks to be dealt cause if they don’t then he just opts out of his players option at the end of the 21-22 season and they get nothing unless for a sign and trade. Beal and Lavine have huge leverage due to their impending contract status. 

I still think he goes to the warriors when all is said and done. however that Boston deal is pretty enticing with brown. I still the warriors go all in with wiseman, 7, 14, Wiggins and Poole 

Bleacher Report insider Jake Fischer reported Saturday that Beal is considering requesting a trade ahead of next week's NBA Draft, on the heels of buzz that the Lakers are angling to acquire his Wizards teammate Russell Westbrook.

Here's a portion of what Fischer reported Saturday morning:

"Word has reached front offices around the league that Wizards All-Star guard Bradley Beal is considering requesting a trade prior to Thursday night's event. 

"[...]

"Beal does not have a proverbial list of preferred destinations, but it was mentioned by multiple sources that he would welcome joining teams such as Boston, Golden State, Miami or Philadelphia."

I would not give up Brown after seeing his improvement on the offensive end and his defense.

I rather have brown than beal long term. I think brown still has more ceiling to reach. But I’m for the Celtics making that move cause i think long term they’d likely regret it. 

plus whoever traded for beal better have him sign an extension. He can opt out at the end of the year and leave similarly to what Kyrie did (Celtics got him for two years not just one)with the Celtics where he said he would be back but then used his player option and left.

There may be some questions about Siakam's game after a disappointing season following his breakout season. But hed be a hell of a fit next to Embiid, and Id expect him to continue to add to his game.

If you can somehow make it work doing Ben for Siakam and Lowry S&T, Id add more (even Maxey and picks) if we can also get their 4th pick.

Lowry

Suggs

Tobi

Siakam

Embiid

 

 

So you have at least GSW, and Boston to contend with.

He has the offseason workout buddy connection with Tatum. Embiid works out with them too, but it never seems to matter. No one wants to come to Philly.

Yup.  Gotta take what we can get at this point 

Saw online somewhere the idea of Ben and Hill for Hayward, rozier, pick 11 and I think there was a 4th player can't remember. 

I like it.
