Simmons left the 76ers, which also meant his jersey had lost its commercial value, and Philadelphia launched a campaign to recycle it. It's worth mentioning that the recycling campaign is particularly interesting, a Simmons jersey can be traded for the equivalent of a bottle of vodka or a $25 shopping card, and the jerseys will be sent to a shelter in Brooklyn. Of course, Simmons' farce has been going on for more than half a season, and the jersey supplier won't be stupid enough to mass-produce his jerseys. So, Philadelphia doesn't have too much inventory. Judging by Philadelphia's move, fans are not friendly to Simmons. It is unclear how Brooklyn deals with Harden's jerseys, but it is certain that Harden has more jersey inventory than Simmons, on the one hand, Harden is temporarily intending to leave, only half a month; on the other hand, his fame is much larger than Simmons, so it seems that this is indeed a troublesome problem.
In Simmons' trade, Drummella was sent to the Nets, leaving the 76ers' interior line unusable, leaving only Embiid and Youngster Butler, Who has averaged 3 points and 2.7 rebounds in only 7 minutes of playing time this season, strictly speaking, not a qualified rotation player, Rivers does not look at him and his size does not meet the requirements of a standard center, weighing only 104KG, completely inferior in physical confrontation. Embiid is capable, but in the playoffs as his defense increases, he is unlikely to play a full 40 minutes per game, and in this case, Rivers makes an important decision, and the 76ers will continue to seek to strengthen a center in the buyout market. It is clear that TT-Thompson will be their preferred target. Although Thompson is over thirty years old, he is very experienced in the playoffs, and he has won championships with James, and still has the ability to play as a substitute, averaging 6 points and 5 rebounds per game this season. It is worth mentioning that in the Game of the Pacers' victory over the Wizards, he performed well and got 17 points and 6 rebounds, will the Pacers buy him out?
The third news comes from the All-Star Game, as the day of the event is getting closer, the ticket price of the All-Star Game is also released, and it is still a bit expensive overall, of which the lowest ticket price of the All-Star Main Game has reached $433, the lowest ticket price for the single skill game is $376, and even the lowest ticket price for all-star pre-game training has reached $26. However, the NBA officially did not publish the maximum ticket price, personally believe that there is no need for this, those are the rights of the rich, for them will never be too expensive. Fans said that the generally high ticket price should be related to the award ceremony of the 75 top stars, and the award ceremony of the 75 big stars will be held during the break of the All-Star Game. According to previous reports, the number of participants should be about 60 people, which can be described as full of stars.
