Little has changed with the ongoing Ben Simmons situation in recent weeks. The Sixers are continuing their season without him and Daryl Morey isn’t changing his patient approach to wait until the trade he wants is available.
We have some new noise now, though, due to the troubled state of the Portland Trail Blazers. Their core has largely remained the same, new head coach Chauncey Billups hasn’t helped matters, general manager and president of basketball operations Neil Olshey was under investigation for alleged workplace misconduct and was fired on Friday, and the team sits at 11-13 and 10th place in the Western Conference.
