Beijing time on January 20 news, from Philadelphia with the team reporter Keith Pompey reported that the king and Philadelphia had discussed a 5 for 3 big deal, but was rejected by Philadelphia! The stakes the Kings offered were unbelievable, Hilde + Halliburton + Barnes plus two first-round picks, hoping to get Ben Simmons, Tobias Harris and Sable! What is even more unbelievable is that Philadelphia actually rejected the deal proposal, and the emperor also lost reinforcements.
Simmons contracted 170 million, one game without playing. Harris is contracted to 180 million and plays like a player with an annual salary of 8 million. Harry Burton and Barnes, on the other hand, are the Kings' starters. Hield is not a starter but has been playing longer than the starter. There are also two first-round picks for the Kings, who haven't made the playoffs for 15 consecutive years. Therefore, the king's chips were actually rich enough that it was impossible to imagine why Philadelphia had rejected such a deal.
According to reports, Philadelphia did not reduce Simmons's asking price but rose, asking the other side to take out the top 25 players in the league. I don't know what Philadelphia's management is thinking, a player who performed extremely badly in the playoffs last season, was beaten back to his original form, and this season he was angry and unwilling to play, how can he exchange for a top 25 star in the league?
Moreover, the Kings are willing to swallow Harris's contract. This 180 million gentleman, the degradation is too obvious now. Although he is diligent and earnest on the field, the helpless level is simply not enough to reach the annual salary of 36 million. If the facts are as reported by reporters, then Philadelphia really wants to rot two big contracts.
As Philadelphia rejected such a lucrative chip, the King's side began to target Sabonis Jr. It is reported that the king has included Fox in the discussion. But none of this has much to do with Philadelphia, which may have turned down the greatest rewards they could get while also dealing with two junk contracts.
