Before the trade deadline, the NBA will definitely have a trade with big players, among which Simmons, who has been waiting for a long time, is expected to welcome a new owner. First of all, Simmons is 100% not going to play for the 76ers, but still maintains high-intensity personal training and can return to play at any time. And the 76ers always think that Simmons can be used to exchange stars of equal strength, and the expectations are indeed too high. Secondly, there are not too many teams interested in Simmons, at least the teams that currently belong to the playoff ranks are not very active in pursuing Simmons.
However, the latest revelation of NBA fame Haynes confirms that Simmons' trading plan has finally taken a major turn. Because the Kings, who are only eleventh in the West, are considering rebuilding because they can't make the playoffs, all players on the team can be on the trade list. So, it's only a matter of time before Core Fox takes off the Kings jersey. The 76ers did discuss with the Kings about Simmons swapping Fox, and confirmed that the 76ers were interested in Fox.
Take Fox's contract, worth $160 million over five years, and this season is the first year of execution, as long as the 76ers take Fox, it is undoubtedly establishing a long-term core. Fox is actually better than Simmons's three-point shooting ability, but today's three-point shooting rate has suddenly dropped a lot, more or less related to the Kings' style of play. The 76ers also noticed this problem, so there is also news that the really feasible trade solution is that Fox and Hield replace Simmons.
Hield has been one of the most accurate defenders in the league to shoot three-pointers and is definitely the best complement to the 76ers' outside attack. With Fox and Embiid as the new core of the team, paired with hield with obvious functionality, the 76ers' record should not only be in the top five in the East. It can be said that it is fully equipped with enough love to compete for the Eastern Conference championship. Whether the deal will work out or not, the answer from Fox himself is exciting, he thinks the deal will definitely happen, of course, he did not directly refer to the plan of exchange with Simmons. Combined with the fact that there are currently no other sources showing the 76ers discussing Simmons' deal with other teams, Fox is the new nucleus of the 76ers, which should be the countdown.
