The closer the trade deadline, the more chances Ben Simmons have of leaving Philadelphia. The hottest track in recent times leads to Atlanta, the conference finalists being very disappointing this season (12th place in the East with 17 wins for 22 losses) with a defense still as permissive.
As John Collins gets more and more frustrated, so maybe there is some common ground to be found…
According to Marc Spears and Brian Windhorst, from ESPN, the Sixers have however changed their offer, now offering Tobias Harris in the company of Ben Simmons. Except that this is not necessarily to the taste of Atlanta, who would be interested in Ben Simmons, the Australian being able to bring back a defensive balance alongside Trae Young, but not really by the winger, especially since there has people on 3/4 positions in Georgia with John Collins, but also Cam Reddish, Danilo Gallinari, Bogdan Bogdanovic or De’Andre Hunter.
Above all, the duo Ben Simmons – Tobias Harris weighs very heavy on the financial plan. Between them, it is more than 190 million dollars (guaranteed) until 2025!
For Philadelphia, mounting a trade to get an All-Star that helps the team in the short term is still just as tough as ever, and it’s going to take Daryl Morey to be pretty darn ingenious to get there in the coming weeks.
