Perk:
“Ben Simmons is not answering the phone calls, he don’t want to be with the 76ers, and from what I heard, he’s willing not to report to training camp, and will go as long as it takes for him to get out of Philly. So I say where there’s smoke there’s fire.”
Jason Dumas reported last week that Simmons wasn’t returning phone calls. He’s the Philly guy who works in TV out in San Francisco.
If Ben wants out, then Daryl Morey needs to #DoTheDeal. Ben Simmons, Tyrese Maxey, and a 1st round draft pick for Dame Lillard. Straight up. I also like that three-way Blazers/Sixers/Warriors trade I’ve seen kicked around on Twitter. Blazers get Wiseman, Wiggins, and picks. Warriors get Simmons. Sixers get Dame.
Fire up the ESPN trade machine.
