Discussions underway for Ben Simmons, an important package mentioned!
Always announced on the departure of the Sixers, Ben Simmons has not yet played a single minute with his team. Not sure if this is the case, since discussions for a trade are currently taking place. Can the file finally be finalized? We take stock.
Without Ben Simmons and with a few injuries during the season, the Sixers still make a big start to the campaign in the Eastern Conference. Doc Rivers’ men won against the Nuggets on Thursday night with a score of 103-89. A collective that continues to shine, like Tyrese Maxey and his 22 units, or Seth Curry with 20 points.
Philly’s record is currently 9-7. It’s excellent, especially given the circumstances. Joel Embiid is not back yet, and Ben simmons still has no plans to play. However, we have just had an important update on the leader’s side, which could be traded soon.
Ben Simmons to a new Eastern team?
Because yes, discussions are underway. We do not know how advanced they are, but Daryl Morey talks well with colleagues to find a way out for Simmons, after months of drama. You imagine the fans are supportive, as are a lot of people in Philadelphia. According to Keith Pompey, the Pistons are negotiating.
The Philadelphia 76ers and Detroit Pistons are having ongoing discussions on a Ben Simmons trade, per @PompeyOnSixers.

The Sixers and Pistons are currently in talks for a Ben Simmons trade. He could go to Detroit against Jerami Grant, a young player and a pick for the Sixers.
Jerami Grant has been proving excellent since leaving the Thunder, which is therefore quite surprising. When we think of a young player, there is also the name of Killian Hayes which returns, especially with the arrival of Cade Cunningham in Detroit, while the pick would be only a formality. Still, nothing is confirmed yet.
Getting Simmons will have to pay a price, and the Pistons are interested. But such an offer? Let’s say that for a team in full reconstruction, it is quite doubtful. Ben would be an asset for a roster that aims for the title, for the rest, we can see a real risk-taking.
Ben Simmons at the Pistons? Discussions are taking place, it remains to be seen if an agreement can be reached soon. If so, we can be sure Daryl Morey will want a big payoff. Beginning of response in the coming weeks.
