Show Notes
The standoff between the Philadelphia 76ers and NBA All-Star Ben Simmons does not seem to be any closer to a resolution. Simmons remains away from the team as he tends to his mental health, preparing himself to return to the court. He is also receiving treatment for a back ailment.
The 76ers are holding out hope that Simmons will return to play with them, but that seems more and more unlikely with each passing day. At this point, a trade still seems like the most likely outcome should a team step up with an offer that appeases Daryl Morey and the team’s front office.
As long as Embiid is healthy and in the lineup, this team is still going to be a very competitive one in the Eastern Conference. Seeing how well they performed to start the season, they could be more open to moving Simmons.
Plenty of teams around the league want to acquire him, but there are a few that might need him more than others. As the Sunday Punch Podcast sees it, there are only three options:
- Jerami Grant
- CJ Mccollum
- Pascal Siakam
Would the two biggest 76ers fans accept any of these scraps from the table?
