Ben Simmons' deal has taken a new look. According to US media reports, the Knicks have discussed a deal to introduce Ben Simmons, but the Timberwolves said that Towns and Edwards are not for sale and will not be exchanged for Simmons.
According to Jake Fischer, a reporter for "Open-Air Grandstand Sports", the Knicks have discussed the introduction of Simmons internally, but according to people familiar with the matter, the Knicks have not yet called the 76ers top management.
However, the industry is not optimistic about the prospects of the Knicks to introduce Simmons, after all, the 76ers ask for a high price, and it is difficult to imagine that the Knicks will come up with an offer to impress the 76ers. In addition, the Knicks now seem to be more likely to tinker with it than to bring in a blockbuster star like Simmons. Aside from Simmons, not many stars have been involved in trade rumors, including: Jeramie Grant, Sabonis Jr. or Miles Turner. In the current market, there are far more buyers than sellers.
According to Eric Pincus, a reporter for "Open-air Grandstand Sports", if the Timberwolves are willing to pack Edwards and some other players, the 76ers may nod, but this possibility is very small, because Edwards is not for sale for the Timberwolves. Besides, unless Towns wanted to go on his own, the Timberwolves wouldn't let him go easily. The only person who could be traded for Simmons was Russell.
It has also been reported that the Kings have not performed well off to the season, and their position, which was previously reluctant to pay Fox or Haliburton for simmons trade, has now eased their position. Industry speculates that they may be willing to send Fox away in order to bring in Simmons.
There are many buyers, who will the 76 people agree to? (Supine Braces/Hairy)
