EP 36--Ben Simmons Wants Out Of Philly, Sixers Shopping Ben - a podcast by Dexter

Lillard and Beal still likely have both of their feet in Portland and Washington, respectively. As for Ben Simmons, he probably already has his bags packed and is just raring to get out of Philadelphia. Philly likely still wants to fix the situation, but the 3-time All-Star probably doesn’t want anything to do with that. The Sixers-Simmons relationship has reportedly gone sour and it has apparently reached the point of no return.

With that, Philly has reportedly tried to shop Simmons. However, their asking price is a little too high for teams interested in landing former no. 1 overall pick. In addition, Simmons’ reportedly prefers to go to one of the “California teams.” This sparked rumors of the Warriors making a push for the 25-year old stud.However, Dubs fans are concerned with Simmons’ fit, especially alongside a non-scoring threat in Draymond Green. Simmons and Green offer the same skillset, with their playmaking ability and elite and versatile defense. Many feel like they would overlap and their presence on the floor together would limit the space for Stephen Curry to operate and make his magic. Furthermore, Simmons’ inability and unwillingness to shoot continues to be one of the knocks of his game and his lack of development on that aspect has been quite a major concern.
