Ben Simmons gave his huge rant over 6 months ago, and yet he’s still under contract with the Sixers. A situation which begins to weigh heavily on the leaders, who are now seeking to unblock things. Daryl Morey has just made a huge decision on this subject!
What if the Sixers started to show signs of weakness on the record Ben Simmons ? One month before the trade deadline, Daryl Morey is active behind the scenes to find a way out for his leader, while strengthening his team, rather attractive this season. A few days ago, for example, we learned that he was thinking of selling off his player and putting aside his outlandish demands.
While teams are starting to take a serious stand, and in particular one with an enticing package to offer, the leaders of Philadelphia decided to give a last shot of poker to panic the market. Ben Simmons would no longer be the only one in an ejection seat, his fate would now be linked to that of a very talented teammate!

Sixers want to link Tobias Harris with Ben Simmons in trade talks
The Sixers want to get rid of Ben Simmons, this is nothing new, but they have also decided to part ways with Tobias Harris, who is however the second offensive option behind Joel Embiid. A surprising choice for a player who turns 18.6 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists on average this season. Daryl Morey no doubt hopes to mount a trade with several teams to recover more assets than for the only Australian leader.
The question now is, what franchises will be desperate enough to get into a $ 70 million trade ?! Indeed, the two players made available receive an average of $ 35 million per season and their contracts are far from over … Kyle Kuzma, still very active on social networks, laughed a lot when he saw this news. He did not hesitate to denounce this financial inconsistency.
How the hell you package 80ms ???????????????????? https://t.co/b6JSM2KIut

How you can make an 80 million package ????????????????????
After having taken a dominant posture at the beginning of the saga, he affirmed to be ready to wait 4 years to get rid of of Simmons, Daryl Morey reconsiders that statement. Today he is doing everything to unblock the situation, even proposing Tobias Harris!
