Do Portland Trail Blazers bite with Ben Simmons’s diminished trade value?

The Portland Trail Blazers might be able to take advantage of the growingly tumultuous situation that’s brewing in the City of Brotherly Love, as the Philadelphia 76ers and Ben Simmons have come to an impasse.

Simmons has made it clear that the situation between he and the team has gone past the point of amends. The former number one overall pick is demanding a trade out of Philly and is willing to hold out — and forego paychecks — until the Sixers grant his wish.

The Sixers have already fielded offers for Ben Simmons but continue to hold a stance that they will only trade him for an all-star caliber player.
