Jade start the Clock! A matter of when not if!
***From The Athletic’s Shams Charania dateline August 30***
Since July the 76ers has conducted “expansive” discussions with several teams, including Minnesota and Toronto, but neither a Timberwolves package nor the Raptors’ proposals have appealed to the 76ers as of yet.
Rival executives believe it’s only a matter of when — not if — the All-Defensive team stalwart is moved.
For now, all signs continue to point to 25’s career in Philadelphia coming to an end.
(BREAKING NEWS)
Hold on we got some breaking news happening right now.
From Keith Pompey 25 now says he no longer wants to be with the 76ers!
Whoaaaaaaa!
From the Philadelphia Inquirer
Ben Simmons let it be known that he wants out. In a meeting with the 76ers last week in Los Angeles, Simmons told team co-managing partner Josh Harris, president of basketball operations Daryl Morey, general manager Elton Brand and coach Doc Rivers that he no longer wants to remain a Sixer, according to multiple sources. Sources said the three-time All-Star also does not intend to report to training camp.
