On January 6, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season continued. As of today, there is one star who has not played this season, and he is Simmons of the 76ers. Simmons has been recuperating on mental health grounds due to a conflict with the team, never playing for the 76ers this season, and the 76ers have always wanted to trade them.
Earlier today, Sam Amick revealed an update on the 76ers and Simmons. He said the 76ers side still want an All-Star from Simmons' deal, and they haven't wavered from Simmons' high offer, a move that has frustrated some teams eager to get Simmons.
Sam Amick went on to say that a series of moves by the 76ers' management have convinced some of the league's executives that they are still waiting for the opportunity to get Lillard or Bill back this summer as early as possible.
It has to be said that whether it is for the 76ers or Simmons, the current stalemate is very unfavorable for both sides. As Simmons stays away from the game longer and longer, the value of his trade becomes. At the same time, according to US media reports, the 76ers have previously made a request for the Lillard deal, but the other side has refused, and it is difficult to expect this situation to change.
Simmons, for his part, has been refusing to play this season, and according to NBA regulations, the 76ers have fined him more than $10 million, and this number will continue to accumulate as he continues to miss.
As a 25-year-old young player, it is not a good thing to be away from the field at this age, he will miss a very important period of growth, as well as running into the team.
