I much rather keep maxey and trade thybulle. 

"Philadelphia has made no secret that Beal is on its short list of players for whom it would trade disgruntled guard Ben Simmons, who has sat out all season. But the 76ers won’t include an additional piece, such as exciting young guard Tyrese Maxey, along with Simmons in a potential trade for Beal, per league sources. Philly has similarly held firm that it won’t put third-year forward Matisse Thybulle, a terrific wing defender, in a Simmons package."

Extended Beal and Bertans (contract dump for Wiz) for Ben, Green (non-guaranteed 2022 contract), Korky/Shake and a 1st. 
 

Seems fair, no?

I tend to believe Bertans contract has to come back here. I’d do Ben, thybulle, green, springer and picks for bertans and beal. Doubt Washington would even if they get bertans off the books. Might be more obtainable with that package in offseason but really trade deadline 2023 when he likely is leaving Washington. But then it’s a lot for potential rental. 

My one issue with Beal is that his 3 point shooting is really bad so it could screw up the spacing unless we have all good shooters out there with him. Also, I’m reluctant to give Tisse up unless we can get a guy back that gives us 75% of his defense. Add Beal and remove Tisse and our defense is really really bad.

Now you are overthinking this.  Beal has shot 35% from 3 the previous 3 years. He is good enough and teams have to respect his shot.

His 3 point shooting is really bad this year, probably because he is their only legit option so he probably takes a lot of bad shots trying to win games. Otherwise he is a career 37%

You drive Thybulle to the Wiz if can keep Maxey in a deal for Beal

He also is playing with a guard who thinks he is the best player on the floor in Dinwiddie so it can throw off a lot of things.

I’d love to get pope just cause he is a good role player for this team. Have a feeling the wizards are gonna make you to take bertans back though.

Being a part time Lakers fan I would sign off on pope he is an incredible role player

No, doesn’t seem fair to the Wizards at all. Nobody is giving up a player of Beal’s caliber for Simmons. It’s just not happening. 

Beal with his player option is going to walk at the end of the season. Wiz will get little in a potential S&T return if they don’t trade him now.

If they choose to trade him now they can certainly get better than a deal centered around Simmons.

Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelburne discussed the current trade value of Ben Simmons approximately one week before the trade deadline as Daryl Morey and the Philadelphia 76ers continue to make him available in a deal while maintaining that a move isn't necessary at this time.

"The value is... there are a lot of teams who want him, but I don't know there's anybody who thinks we can't live without him," said Wojnarowski on his podcast. "They certainly don't value him at the level Philly has wanted in trade packages.

"And so you've seen, you know we reported last week Sacramento said 'We're out.' They've been telling teams that. Other teams, they feel not only is the asking price too high from Philly. Even if it went down some it would still be too high. It won't get far enough down for them to make a deal. They just don't want to waste time on it. They have to improve their team in Sacramento."

Wojnarowski went on to say that the Kings were really motivated to trade for Simmons.

"There are a lot of GMs who will tell you, I had one tell me today, certainly a team that has the pieces to do a Ben Simmons' trade... 'Daryl has to call me. I'm not calling him. He has to call me with offers.' There are teams who feel that."

Anyone who doesn’t refuse to shoot and isn’t terrified of the free throw line. 

John Calipari was just on with Angelo.  Coach Cal was afraid that Maxey would have to be included in a deal to move Ben.  Glen Rivers told Cal "That will never happen".

Glad that at least the coach sees Maxey’s value. I’m not even joking when I say that if Maxey were included in a deal, he’d be the centerpiece not Simmons. I honestly believe his value now exceeds that of Ben.

Just think if he played the kid during the regular season last year. He could have been the spark plug to beat the Hawks in Game 7
