Ben Simmons wants out of Philadelphia, and the 76ers are trying to deal him.
However, the asking price for the three-time All-Star continues to be steep, and no team has bit the line just yet.
Recent reports have indicated that the 76ers have a list of 30 players they would accept in return for Simmons, and apparently, they have their sights honed in on two players: James Harden of Brooklyn and Jerami Grant of Detroit.
According to an article from the Philadelphia Inquirer: “The team has engaged in ongoing discussions with the Detroit Pistons to acquire Grant, another forward, a young player, and a draft pick in exchange for Simmons, league sources said. One source said power forward/center Kelly Olynyk and second-year swingman Saddiq Bey were mentioned as players who could be included in a possible deal. However, a source said the Pistons are unlikely to include Bey, a Villanova product, or Olynyk.”
Should Troy Weaver make the move, or would bringing in a player like Ben Simmons hamper what he is trying to build in Detroit?
