76ers will only trade Ben Simmons for a player who will make them title contender
Adrian Wojnarowski: Sixers’ approach on a trade has remained steadfast: They won’t move Simmons for role players — only a player who’ll help keep them a championship contender. That hasn’t changed. For now, no one should expect a speedy resolution on Simmons’ future in Philadelphia.

Ben Simmons is running the Jimmy Butler playbook to get himself out of Philadelphia. While my co-worker @bycharlescurtis thinks it was his only move, I don’t think it’s the right call.

Not to justify Ben Simmons’ behavior but the 76ers had to see this coming. He told them to their faces, with no ambiguity, no wiggle room, that he was done playing for Philadelphia. He showed up to avoid financial losses, not to win games. Acting up is his only play to get dealt. – 12:53 PM
