Indeed, but the scoring point guard they want is Lillard, not CJ. In trading Simmons, they're not going to say, "Well, if Lillard isn't available, let's just take the next best one Portland has" (in my opinion).

Yeah, I dont think CJ is high on their list they have Curry, Thyebull, Maxie.
 
Philly may not have CJ high on there list, but if they trade Simmons to GS for Wiggins, Weismann ,& those 2 rookies, they are basically rebuilding as well. There's not of lot of interest in Simmons for what the Sixers need in return. They've backed themselves in a corner by badmouthing him, and the fan base wanting him gone. CJ does complement Embiid & Harris' game. He is a better facilitator than what they have on the bench or can get in a trade. And he certainly is a better closer than what they have, or what they can get in a trade. I actually think the Sixers trading for CJ makes a lot of sense. Keeping the pouty Simmons will only lead to a continued riff hovering over the franchise. CJ has a chance to become special in that move.
 
CJ, DJJ, and 2 future 1st from Golden State to Philly, Simmons to GS. Green, Weismann, and Curry to Portland.
 
CJ & Derrick help Philly now. The picks are insurance for the future. Golden State gets their young facilitator, that can work with their 2 sharp shooters, and is young enough to begin a rebuild with their current draft class when it's time. This trade is the best of all worlds for our team. Green & Curry are needs now, and finish out the roster and make Portland a contender. Plus Weismann is insurance in case Nurk leaves, or doesn't take the next step.

I'd much rather it just be our two first rounders and take Simmons for ourselves (and Seth if the Sixers are into charity) for the very reasons you just said that Golden State should do it.

Curry was their second best player when it mattered last season. I don’t think he’s on the trading block.

Steps in, looks around...

There's people in here who want to trade a guy who's never afraid to shoot for a guy who can't shoot and is scared to dunk on the Lil Goomba from Mario??? Really??

Oh, I actually wanted to trade a guy who is one of the biggest defensive liabilities in the league for a guy who's the best all around defender in the league. And let's not pretend that Simmons isn't close to averaging 15 and 8 on offense with better ball security than CJ... he also has a better career true shooting percentage than CJ. I do like the artwork though.

Simmons whole mind is fucked bro... He's literally shooting with the wrong hand... It would be a foolish trade.

You vastly overrate Ben Simmons defense. Just because HE says it doesn't make it true...

LOL at the description of CJ..."never afraid to shoot". He's never afraid to dribble either. He needs more fear in his game

Needs more fear in his game? WTF does that even mean...? Do less of what you don't like?

It's still foolish AF to trade CJ for him. NO one wants him except Blazer fans.. Go figure...

One is a walking bucket, the other is scared to shoot with the wrong hand he's been shooting with... It's delirious IMO...

Not to mention one wants to be in Portland and the other would be looking to force his way out ASAP.

Imagine clamoring for someone who's acting like a lil' diva and cut off communication with his team.

If ANYONE was doing that here we all know how most would respond. Y'all hate CJ that much? GTFO...

That was a Bay Area sports radio show where the host was just riffing about the fact that he's heard that Ben Simmons is a LA socialite and the host... who then cited himself in the B/R article... speculated that because he'd heard that Simmons is a socialite he wouldn't want to go to a California team and not teams that are a mess like the Blazers and Raptors. Listen to the clip from his radio show, it's bullshit. Complete speculation. Just a guy trying to inject himself into a hot narrative and you're taking his word like it's Shams or Woj.

Oh, I know that. I’ve said the same thing about that guy in other posts. OTOH, there was nothing but crickets out of Simmons when those reports arose. If a guy wants out of Philly that badly, you’d think that he would be quick to tamp something like that down if it wasn’t true. I mean, we all know the history of guys not wanting to sign or get traded here.

I could see that if he was a frequent social media guy.
Though my guess is that Ben doesn't care much for media - so he's not going to go out of his way to respond.
Admittedly, I'm not a social media guy either (S2 is as close as I come to it).... so I don't know if Ben frequents FB, Twitter, etc.

Yeah, there's been nothing but crickets from Simmons all off season and after the way Doc and Embiid treated him, I don't blame him. I think he's just waiting to be traded and I remember when he was drafted saying that he just wanted to be picked first and he didn't care which team it was. So I think he just wants a new start somewhere and then we'll see him come out and talk about how he's ready to try and turn the page. There has been no indication from him or his people that there was any validity to that rumor (it wasn't even a report) and there's never even been a whisper about the guy having a list of teams. The guy grew up in Australia, went to high school in central Florida, college in Baton Rouge and has never made a peep about not liking playing in Philly and wanting to go to California.

Calm the fuck down. Everyone who knows me in this forum knows my sarcasm meter is broken. I don't know what to do with jokes that aren't funny.
I didn't even know it was a joke. Jokes are supposed to be funny. What you said was stupid to me and didn't make sense.

No I didn't recognize your unfunny "joke"...
