On January 20, Beijing time, according to US media reports, the Minnesota Timberwolves were interested in Indiana Pacers interior player Miles Turner and Philadelphia 76ers player Ben Simmons. However, with Turner injured, the Timberwolves' interest in Simmons increased.
According to Sam Amick, the Timberwolves' current president of basketball operations, Guta, has long liked creative deals. It is worth mentioning that according to previous reports, only Towns and Edwards in the Timberwolves lineup are non-tradable players, and other players can be used as chips.
At present, there are many deals about Simmons. The Hawks were revealed to want to send Collins + Redish + 1 first-round pick to the 76ers last week to trade Ben Simmons. However, when Harris was put into the deal discussion, the related deal negotiations were stopped.
In addition to this, the Kings want to use Hield + Halliburton + Barnes to get Bency + Harris + Sable + 2 first-round picks from the 76ers. However, 76 people are not interested in this offer. Therefore, this is also unlikely to happen.
However, for the Timberwolves, if they are not willing to hand over Towns or Edwards, then perhaps the 76ers will not be very interested in the rest of the team, after all, the 76ers' goal is to trade Simmons for the top 25 players in the league.
