The NBA trade deadline is less than a month away and 76ers All-Star Ben Simmons still remains a member of Philadelphia's franchise.
On Tuesday, Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix reported that the organization has conveyed to opposing teams that it isn't lowering the asking price for Simmons. Previous reporting has suggested any Simmons trade would entail not dealing for role players, but instead only for players who will help the 76ers become a championship contender.
Basketball reporter Marc Stein reported earlier this week that the Sixers want to still convince Simmons to return to Philadelphia, but added that the Hawks have emerged as a potential new team that could be interested in the former No.
