About the Simmons deal, has not been resolved, and Simmons is still not playing, of course, the 76ers also continue to fine him, it can be seen that Simmons does not want to play in the 76ers at all, but his contract with the 76ers has many years, so the 76ers are not in a hurry to trade him, of course, mainly because the 76ers have a big appetite, want to get a very good player, that is, an All-Star level player, so this is also the main reason why Simmons trade is blocked, The asking price is too high for other teams to satisfy the 76ers.
Simmons' latest deal developments, according to reporter Jason Dumas, the 76ers have expanded the scope of the deal, the current team has a 25-man roster, of course, these are the players that the 76ers want to get, whether the other side is willing to say that. And the reporter also reported that Embiid did not pressure the team on this matter, he only hoped to get a teammate who was willing to play in Philadelphia. The 76ers' current record is 21 wins and 16 losses, and the team has a five-game winning streak, ranking fifth in the East.
Embiid completed the contract extension with the 76ers in the offseason, and the team is now in a good configuration, at least for the Eastern Conference playoff team, if Simmons can get an All-Star, then the 76ers are in a championship competition, which depends on the operation of the team management. The 76ers have been rebuilding for many years and have also been given a lot of draft picks, but from the current results, the result of the reconstruction is only to become a playoff team, and the team has not yet reached the Finals again.
Embiid is the league's top interior line, the current 76ers' main lineup is Embiid, Harris, Maxi, Curry Jr., Danny Green, Sable, Niang, Kolkmaz and Zhuang Shen, etc., the lineup of role players is still very good, of course, Harris's performance is somewhat unworthy of his current maximum salary contract, which is also a potential problem, Simmons' transaction has not progressed, and it is still very difficult for the 76ers to reach the Finals in the East.
The reason for Simmons' trading difficulties fans are also clear, that is, the 76ers management asked for too high, last season's playoffs, Simmons's performance was very poor, this is the main fuse, other teams can also clearly see Simmons's weakness, if the 76ers do not lower the offer, it may be difficult to send Simmons before the trade deadline, perhaps look forward to this matter can be resolved as soon as possible.
