Slow news week, right?
We have yet another report surrounding the elephant in the room that is the Ben Simmons trade saga. This one comes from the Bucks County Courier Times’ Tom Moore, who shed some more light on the background on how things have transpired.
#NBA source: The #Sixers' goal isn't to increase Ben Simmons' trade value by him reporting but for Simmons to come back and play this season. Also, Simmons and agent Rich Paul initially asked for a trade in Chicago "right after" the 2020-21 season ended.
