The Ben Simmons rumors are flying fast and furious, with ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowksi reporting that Philadelphia is “canvassing the league” in search of a trade partner. There has been endless speculation on when and how a Simmons trade might play out, but it’s looking increasingly likely that the Sixers‘ All-Star will be dealt before the 2021-22 season.
Woj later commented on the Sixers’ asking price, which remains significant. He dubbed it “Harden-esque,” with rumors surfacing that San Antonio was asked for four first-round picks and three pick swaps in a recent negotiation.
