With Ben Simmons often quoted in trades in recent weeks, the young star might not be the only one packing. You have to believe that Daryl Morey wants to give his roster a hell of a broom.
It’s no longer a secret : Ben Simmons should be traded in the coming weeks. The Australian is haggled to reach a new destination, although discussions do not really advance to date. We hoped to see an outcome in the draft, but we have to believe that Philly did not find the right counterpart to trigger this move.
Now talks can continue but at this rate it becomes unlikely to see a Simmons exit if the 76ers don’t change their demand. When we see the negotiations with the Spurs, we quickly understand why the franchise of Gregg Popovich said no without looking back.
But the most surprising thing about it is that Ben may not be the only major player who will be traded this summer. Indeed, according to Sirius Radio reporter Mitch Lawrence, Tobias Harris is also on the move. Yet he had a good season in Philadelphia this year, but Daryl Morey wants to clean up his roster a bit.
This year, Harris averaged 19.5 points, in addition to 6.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists. Add to that 51% shooting and 40% at three points, and we have a very good season from the winger. Seeing him being haggled is a real surprise, but Philly doesn’t want to sit idly by after another disappointment …

The 76ers have decided to haggle Tobias Harris, according to Mitch Lawrence.
Ben Simmons is not alone in the market, as Tobias Harris could also pack his bags. Real surprise among the Sixers, who want to change the situation in the East. It remains to be seen which trades will be able to materialize. With Daryl Morey, it’s far from over.
