The 76ers are now willing to Trade B. Simmons for James Harden. Edit: Philly wants more than Harden.

[Rigby.]

I'm not saying nothing massive, but this would probably make or break the next decade for Philly, and I'd lean towards break tbh. You might've just gotten this locker room out of malcontent status, and you add a lazy good for nothing. You chase a HC who just allowed a level of preferential treatment that made everyone uncomfortable, then you think about chasing Harden?

Not to mention..we don't have much evidence of Harden desiring to sacrifice for another star's strengths. Try asking Joel to just play a souped up Capela role for an entire season

Ben Simmons has averaged 20.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.1 assists in 16 games without Joel Embiid in 2019-20.

Not good enough. He’s two tiers below Harden.

I would be the GOAT. Problem is Detroit doesn’t want Wall

And why would they? Griffin only has 2 years left on his deal while Wall has 3.

If Houston really wants to get rid of Wall, then they should call Cleveland and ask about Kevin Love. Bad contract swap for another without the need to attach picks to the deal.

Ok mr. Hot takes

 

[Jerz-2]

So defense doesn't matter?

Harden is SEVERAL TIERS below Simmons in that regard.

 

[Jerz]

This would be up there with the dumbass Futlz trade

It matters but can Simmons lockup top tier Players like Giannis, Bron,Luka,KD, Harden? But there is a good chance that Harden could out score them head to head.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Y’all gon learn thinking Embiid is more than a stat stuffer

When

What has he done?

....see, all that statement represents is FURTHER PROOF that you dudes don't ACTUALLY WATCH THE SIXERS PLAY GAMES:

Ben Simmons' defensive ranks in 2019-2020:

• 1st in steals (115)
• 1st in steals per game (2.1)
• 2nd in deflections (216)
• 3rd in deflections per game (4)
• 3rd in steal percentage (2.9%)
• 13th in Defensive Wins Shares (3.1)
• 7th in Defensive Box Plus/Minus at plus-2.5.

^^^But all that's IMMATERIAL.....right?

If you swap Simmons for Harden and claim that you WON'T feel it defensively, you're just being intellectually dishonest. Period.

Read what I just posted.

 

[Originalman]

Yeah, Ben name leaking like this means it’s pretty close

Once the houston organization was leaking propaganda to hoe ass Tim Macmahon to write, twitter and speak on his hit pieces. You already knew what time it was. Houston management IMO putting it out there with the hit pieces so they won't get backlash from the fans for trading one of the greatest scrores of all time (and future HoF).

IMO simmons been on the table. Its just "official" now. This is only fitting from a historical standpoint that houston trades a future HOF and all time great to Philly....IE Moses Malone.

Bron coasts throughout the season in crunch time he is not getting shut down by Simmons. The rest of those guys on that list besides Harden and Jimmy don’t really matter. They aren’t leading a team to a championship at this point in their career.

I feel like Giannis signed the super max once he was promised they’d get Harden.

Think he resigned just cuz he might get Harden brehs
