Like Andy Dufresne on his sewage-laden crawl toward freedom, today marks another day in the interminable saga of Ben Simmons and the Philadelphia 76ers.

On Monday, my colleague Harrison Grimm wrote a piece detailing what a theoretical deal between the Sixers and the Minnesota Timberwolves — the team most heavily rumored to acquire Simmons’ services at this point in time — might look like.
