Trade for Ben Simmons

[Ron Mexico]

Do folks think we have an offer that interests the Sixers?

I'm curious, cause I don't know. Does an offer around Conley catch their attention?

I think Conley would interest them and it should. But I think they are pretty set on waiting this year out and pursuing a much bigger trade unless someone blows their doors off. Which Conley isnt going to do. I think they want Harden and think the off season is a better time to make a big trade. I am not a Simmons fan but I think its worth the risk if they were interested. Try to pry Thybulle away as well.

Trade Conley, Clarkson, Azubuike, and Hughes for Simmons, Green, and Thybulle. We can throw in some picks as well and could also swing players to different teams and make it a multi team deal.

Conley & Bogey for Simmons and Thybulle works. 76ers may not give up both due to what Thybulle gives the defensively. But Conley and Bogey can help Embid win now while he is in his prime. Don't think they will get too many better offers.

Anything less than Conley and Bogey wont get it done. It is a massive risk but the reward is even bigger. From my fellow aussie spies, Ben has been putting his time away from the game to good use, working on things he needed to. Hearing there is lots of fire in his belly. This is an all chips in type move.

Swap pretty much anyone but Mitchell and Gobert and its still all good. I prefer to keep Bogey, but if they prefer him over Clarkson then no problem. But I still think there is no chance with our package to land him before the trade deadline.

The one big condition though to get Simmons this year is you have to take Tobias Harris period
and no team wants Harris so Sixers will wait

I would take him back. His contract sucks but he is still a good player. Harris, Thybulle, and Simmons for Conley, Clarkson, Bogey, and Ingles. Or keep ingles for the all aussie team and send Royce. Then we have to pick up exum for min.

Crazy that Harris has been around so long and is only 29. But he is a slight upgrade over Bogey and thats worth taking on his bad contract. Our defense would be worlds better right away. I think our offense takes a slight hit but long term might be about the same.

Still I dont think 76ers go for it. They are waiting for something bigger. But Jazz should try.

You take him to get Simmons. Simmons is a generational talent, if he has worked on his jump shot which I'm hearing positive things, then he is Lebron level unstoppable. Can play and defend all positions. Utah doesn't get this opportunity very often. This is our window. This is what Ainge was brought in to do. I hope he is actively trying to get Simmons as his number 1 priority.

No one else gets us over the top. You are dreaming if you think Grant, Collins, Barnes or Smart gets us a championship.

If Simmons has potential to be a top 5 player then every team should be submitting an offer
Sixers should have 29 offers on the table

100%. Any team in contention should be making him their #1 priority. Meeting the 76ers demands is another story!

By all reports he is an *** hat. He is definitely a bad teammate. His jump shot seems broken. He is afraid of the big moments and seems to have mental issues on the court at times. Plus the latest refusal to play and all the drama because he got called out for a terrible play. That is extremely toxic behavior and childish. He has a lot of huge flaws. There is a reason no team is making a big offer. There is a big upside to him but plenty of downside and issues.

Any team in contention should probably avoid him. Teams who are close but would have to get very lucky to win it all might consider the risk worth it. I am a swing for the fences person so I would go for it. But to be honest the Jazz are not and wont. Most teams are going to avoid a toxic player unless they can get him for cheap.

edit: I actually mixed you up with the posts above and below you.

No lie a big 3 of Rudy, Don, and Ben could probably win it all if the right pieces are built around them. They each provide something the other doesn’t in a big way.

Simmons is a legit triple double threat every game
As bad a shooter as he is he still averages about 16 a game
Him and Gobert would be an awesome defending combo
