The chase to sign faltering Philadelphia 76ers point-forward Ben Simmons continues to build and according to many sources San Antonio Spurs are now considered one of the viable frontrunners in the race.
To be clear, from the outset, it’s a move that doesn’t exactly excite Spurs’ fans and given Simmons’ end of season form that’s not too surprising. The trade to bring in Simmon to the AT&T Center is one that would, in theory, see Dejounte Murray and/or Derrick White moving in the other direction, and more besides.
Simmons is clearly a player with something of a pedigree, the 24-year-old has made the NBA All-Star game three years running but his ignominious display in Philadelphia’s 4-3 series defeat to the Atlanta Hawks plays heavy on the memory right now.
