On January 19, Beijing time, less than three weeks before the closing date of this season's trade, in the current trading market, the biggest player is Simmons, who applied for a trade last summer, and this season refused to play for various reasons, and it is only a matter of time before he was traded by the 76ers.
Simmons is also following a number of teams, including the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons are rebuilding this season and if Simmons is available, his combination with Cunningham can help the team get on track as quickly as possible. Today, according to NBA reporter Jake Fischer, the Pistons have officially offered Simmons.
It is reported that the Pistons provided a trade proposal that included Jeramie Grant, Sadiq Bay, Kelly Olynyk and a first-round draft pick, this offer can be described as sincere, compared to the Rockets originally traded Harden to get chips and richer, better quality, but the 76ers still did not move, rejected the Pistons' offer.
Among them, Grant's average data this season is 20.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game, which is a quasi-All-Star level player; and Sadiq Bay is the 19th rookie in the first round last year, who has improved significantly after entering the league, and currently averages 15 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game; Kelly Orinic is a very experienced veteran, averaging 12.5 points + 5.3 rebounds + 2.3 assists per game this season, and has a certain outside shooting ability, including first-round signings.
At present, the 76ers management still hopes to return at least one All-Star player from Simmons' trade, and even the league's top thirty stars, such as Lillard, Beal and other stars, which also scares off many teams that are eager to trade Simmons. If Simmons can't be traded this season, he's ready not to play all season, even if he loses tens of millions of dollars in salary.
