For those who would deal Simmons now

[McCarthy12]

Looks like the Rockets are having some issues with Chris Paul and Harden. How about Simmons to Houston for Paul, another player or two (Gordon, etc.) and picks? And yes, I know Paul is no spring chicken.

Simmons would love it. He'll never have to shoot as long as he plays with Harden.

[Greenstealth]

Wouldn't HATE it but I don't love it. Sounds like you're down on Ben

[Snakebitten]

Chris Paul can't stay healthy and is a declining player. No way.

Hell no. The Sixers should ride or die with Ben and JoJo.

If they die, so be it.

[McCarthy12]

I'm not down on him, I still think he brings so much to the table. But you can mark me as officially "down on Ben Simmons" if he doesn't start shooting next year. It's time and it's what the team needs to be successful. That's the bottom line. It's about the team. Feel free to call me out haha.

Zero chance HOU would trade for Simmons w/ the way they want to play. He completely goes against their playing style.

Absolutely not

Paul is set to make $35 mil this upcoming season. Insanity.

Ha didn't realize that.

Ya, I want them to re-sign Butler, but I’m afraid we will be looking at his contract 3 years from now in the same light...

[Ellsworth]

I wouldn't trade him for Paul. Old player, ridiculously bad contract. Can't stay healthy.


I would trade him to Memphis for the 2nd overall pick though. But, Memphis won't do that.

I've said this before, Ja Morant would be nice and I would still move him for Jason Tatum. If they can't get anything equally or better, they have to keep him.

I still think Brand is overrated. He failed to improve the bench and that wasn't that tough to do.

I'm with you. I also didn't see any personal accountability when the season was over. He said the team needed to get better. He's not good enough to talk like that. He needs to get better. Bad form.

[art vandelay]

Doesn't seem like a good idea. In hindsight they made a huge mistake not trading him for Kawhi last year but who knew that Golden State was going to be missing two of their top four players in the finals. I don't think they're going to get another chance like that.

I'd bet Memphis would, but I think you'd be selling low on Simmons. Remember, he's not necessarily viewed as a PG by all, and its possible he could be used differently somewhere else. Proven commodities, which he is though flawed, are worth more then what ifs. See dead arm down in Orlando.

[Ellsworth]

I don’t think they’d do it simply because he would leave them as soon as his rookie deal ends.

I may be selling early on Simmons but I just don’t think he’s ever going to develop a jumper. And I’d rather sell a year early than late.

I think Jah morant is going to be exceptional. I’d trade
Simmons to find out.
