Simmons is such a bitch, man,

 

[kanuck87]

Trade him to the Kings. If he thought playing with the Sixers was crappy, he has a whole other thing coming to him in Sacramento. Simmons for Hield, Haliburton and 1-2 first round picks. Hield and Haliburton are both good shooters that can help space the floor for both Harris and Embiid to do their thing. Haliburton, in particular, has some untapped potential as well. Kings get another "franchise" player to pair with Fox. Probably not enough to even make the playoffs in the West, but they gotta try. Win-win for both teams, imo.

As a Sixers fan I would do that trade so fast it would make your head spin. Kings have said Haliburton is off limits though.

Honestly, at this point I would trade Simmons for Haliburton straight up. I think he has all-star potential. Haliburton + a 1st would probably be a decent trade now, the way Simmons is cratering his trade value.

damn simmons is such a child what a little punk .

 

[BKIslandersFan]

I agree that Ben Simmons is a child, but Doc Rivers is just not a good coach man.

Simmons is even doing this part wrong. Refusing to participate and missing meetings to give them cause to suspend you? Come on.

Fake an injury, be a nuisance, dog it in certain drills, etc. Basically go the Jimmy Butler route where it's clear you can't be around but they also can't suspend you.

 

[Jack Straw]

Well, this is weird

Well, this is weird

damn he fell out quick for a no2 pick how longs it been 3 years max since drafted?

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Bagley, who was drafted over Doncic and Trae, is out of the rotation.

 

[hockey20000]

big fan of steve nash.. my favorite player when he was in league cause i am canadian always wanted him to get his ring.. but i just cant cheer for him as a coach no matter how much i want him to have a ring because i cant stand any of irving /harden/durant lol.. Bucks vs lakers final please.

If the Kings would rather give up Fox instead of Haliburton, that might work too, but if not, what would the Kings do with Fox, Haliburton and Simmons all on the same team? Besides, I think Haliburton might turn out to be a good player, but not good enough where I wouldn't include him in a trade for Simmons.

 

[Know Your Enemy]

What a block by Giannis. Looking good so far for him and the Bucks

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Get that Canadian outta here!

 

[hockey20000]

The reports I’ve seen have all said that the Kings aren’t willing to trade either Fox or Haliburton, and they’re really the only two guys they have that I’d be interested in.

simmons going to a small market team like the kings would probably end up with him acting like a child again to get out.. hopefully the kings arn't dumb enough to trade either guy for him.

The Kings are going nowhere as it is. Neither Fox nor Haliburton are franchise guys and the Kings haven't made the playoffs in 15 seasons. I would certainly take a chance at trading Haliburton for Simmons to play alongside Fox. Simmons won't have to be the primary ball-handler on offense, which might be a good thing for him. Worst comes to worst, the Kings can help Simmons rehabilitate his image for one season and then trade him next offseason for a massive haul of picks/young players to jump-start their next rebuild.
