Ben Simmons? Is he a fit basketball wise?

[Lyuokdea]

I get the your position is what you defend concept, but you want to put Simmons at a position called "Shooting Guard"?

#irony

He's the quintessential 2-way defensive shooting guard -- both the opponent's shot and his own....

Also - what is Ben Simmon's agent doing?

Simmons looked much better when he was just holding out (he had a valid reason to be mad at the 76ers) -- instead of refusing to show up to practice randomly on a day to day basis.....

Terrible PR advice to have him report back if he wasn't going to buy in...

Showing up gets him paid. Sitting out doesn't.

Except that given current fines, ESPN reported he has made $0 since he has returned.

Because he got $8M before training camp started...

What's all this talk about #3? We had #3 last month. Next year we're just as likely to have #8, or who knows. Plus there are always protections you can put on the pick.
If the deal involves Sexton, the pick, AND Love - I'd do it in a heartbeat.

There is just no point in giving away Sexton and or a draft pick but especially Sexton just so you have to pay someone on a longer deal than Love that doesn't fit the timeline either.
Nobody that is available to match Love
s salary or more is worth trading for esp Simmons
Just let Loves contract run out off the bench or but him out next year

There goes my idea of Sexton, Okoro and a first. Sexton hurt, and Okoro doesn’t even look like an NBA player.

Our first is also getting less valuable with every win.


Warriors first is also likely shot seeing how good they are so now i don’t see the Warriors wanting to deal. They are looking like the best team and Klay isn’t even playing.

I think Ben may have to accept he’ll be playing for Philly this year

I like where we are.
