What about the indy proposal for Brogden

Brogdon for Simmons isn't a fair deal in the grand scheme of things and I can't blame Philly for not taking it. Embiid is injury prone himself to be adding another player on the roster that's just as Indy injury prone and that's more than likely how they viewed it.

Even D Lo for Simmons isn't a fair deal as I'm willing to bet you that even Indy would turn down D Lo for Brogdon if the deal was on the table.

Both sides at fault. Ownership didn’t stick with the process by keeping Hinkie and they and the coaching staff’s enabled Ben for years to be this entitled crybaby they dealing with now. And to make it worse on themselves they went public with their disdain instead of quietly working out a trade and now it’ll be difficult to move him.

And Ben is an entitled bytch that won’t look himself in the mirror and take ownership of his flaws and actually go work hard and rise to the occasion. He’s handled this situation terribly as well and may be seen as a toxic commodity moving forward. Depending on how things work out in the next few seasons he might be better off overseas.

It was Brodgen and another piece for Simmons

The league stepped in and got rid of Hinkie, so not on Philly. At the end of day, this is all on Simmons as if he would even TRY to attempt and be a jumpshooter, then none of this would be happening.

Still not a deal that would satisfy Philly seeing as Indy is chalked full of injury prone players that would struggle to make it through the season. With that being said, the first round pick would have been interesting as I don't think that Simmons would have been enough to get them in the playoffs and it would have been a lottery pick.

As hard as Jimmy worked to come up in the NBA, I don't know how he even managed to deal with a guy like Ben

Think he mentioned it on JJ’s pod that some guys were more concerned with the lifestyle and flashy shyt that comes with it than the game. It’s pretty obvious who he was referring too.

True, I forgot about that. I don’t know the details but I can’t see why ownership couldn’t defend him harder. Kinda weird that the league can just fire a team’s exec. But yes, to be fair, the Sixers been begging Ben for years.

It shoulda been deaded the moment they had to beg. If he wants to be a clown and not improve at all then they shoulda sold high. So yeah, both sides are at fault cuz both sides were bad for each other. Ironically, they shoulda let us draft Ben and Sixers draft Ingram. Ben would’ve been in the right pressure cooker to force him to improve and Embiid would have a solid blue collar running mate to build with.

Listen stop it..

Morey is not getting Lilliard thats who he wants and he’s not getting him. He’s not getting Beal either. These two nikkas are hoes they ain’t asking for trades. Morey is a stubborn idiot who hasn’t won a goddam thing. He’s not in the locker room and has no idea how this shyt is fukking up the team. Now dumb ass Morey can’t even get Brogdon cause he just signed an extension and can’t be traded..

So you can get outta here with your “Yeah but actually” bullshyt :childplease:

I just find the situation incredibly overblown as the Sixers aren't asking much of him at all. As I've said before, try and if you can't do it, then you can't do it. He wouldn't be the only player in the league with a broken jumper as the league is chalked full of them.

I can't even blame Embiid for what's going on as he literally defended him for years even the media tried to get him to throw Simmons under the bus. It's why I find it disingenuous that's going after dude for no reason.

Even if they don't get Beal or Dame, they can still package Simmons along with Maxey/Thybulle and their own picks for players that are better than Brogdon and DLo. People keep overlooking the fact that Philly has assets that aren't just Simmons.
