On January 21, Beijing time, the Philadelphia 76ers have begun to reduce the price of Simmons, according to the US media B/R reporter Bryan Toprek reported that due to Embiid's excellent performance, the 76ers have reduced the asking price for Simmons, asking for the top 40 stars in the league.
Compared with before, the 76ers asked other teams for the top 25 stars in the league, and the asking price is indeed lower now; but the 76ers want to exchange Simmons for a star in the top 40 of the league, it is still difficult to facilitate a deal, at least in the deal deadline; Simmons's farce has lasted a long time, but his departure is far away, for various reasons, the 76ers have negotiated a number of simmons-related deals.
Not long ago, 76ers reporter Keith Pompey revealed that philadelphia and the Hawks' 2-for-3 deal talks collapsed, the bargaining chip between the two sides was the Hawks to send Collins, Reddish and a first-round draft pick, the 76ers wanted to trade Simmons and Harris at the same time, and finally this negotiation collapsed because the 76ers joined Harris; the Hawks have now traded Reddish to the Knicks.
With only 20 days left before the trade deadline, there is no substantial progress on Simmons' deal; the 76ers are not in a hurry to trade Simmons, I am afraid that the most anxious person now is Simmons, who has passed the halfway point of the season and has not yet played this season; he is only 25 years old, which should be the time for Simmons to show his fists, but his future is worrying due to the break with the team.
