It's not enough. They won't trade Simmons for our garbage and a 1st. Simmons has way more value than most Kings fans want to admit to themselves.
They're in win-now around Embiid. Getting an overpaid role player, a developmental big and a draft pick isn't going to line up with their time line.
I think the only way Ben Simmons ends up in a Kings uniform is if Fox is involved in the trade (I'm not advocating that he should be).
Most of us like this trade cuz it seems skewed in our favor cuz some of us pick out all the flaws in our players and look past the flaws in the other. How do you know some sixers fans aren’t thinking trade their “pg” who is too scared to shoot and is horrible at ft and 3pt for a 3 pt champion, former #2 pick and this years first rounder? They don’t watch all our games to see all the details and we don’t watch all the sixers games or know what’s going on behind the scenes with simmons. It’s not like we’re offering Justin James, Kyle guy and a whiteside sign and trade for simmons. I believe I’ve read what OP is offering stated as a possibility along with simmons for Kemba and simmons for McCollum. Though it’s not likely, it’s not totally out of the question or a conversation starter.It's not enough. They won't trade Simmons for our garbage and a 1st.

Yes. steelevt gets me.
I mean, to be fair, it is a huge gamble on the Kings' end to lose a 40%+ 3 point shooter (not to mention who'd always willingly give you 120% effort either he plays well or not, and had displayed an urgency in help defense), and a big man who still has high potential and had made improvements on his 3s for someone who, albeit is the reigning 1st NBA All-defensive team member, was too shook to even try and had his teammate and head coach scratching their heads on how to fix it.
To me, this mirrors some of what C-Webb was like when he came.
Don't forget, McNair and Morey are great friends.![]()
Doesn’t work on trade machine unless buddy and bagley go to TorontoThe issue is the player development. They screwed the pooch with simmons, fultz, and okafur. They dont develop players well (not that the Kings do). I agree with trying to swing a 3 way deal with toronoto to do a S/T for lowry
Kings get Simmons
Raptors get Kings 1st (this year or preferably next year-top 5 protected) and 76ers 1st (this year)-giving the 2 1sts this and next year.
76ers get Lowry, Buddy and Bagley.
Simmons would need to play 3 or 4.

I know, and I hate it too. But I'm willing to give up more for Ben Simmons. I'm willing to give up anyone not named Fox and Haliburton for such a 5-star talent even without him fixing his shots.Recon I can get behind a trade for Simmons if it excludes Fox and Tyrese. Think we would need to source another shooter though if Buddy, Bagley, and the 9th goes.
I really dislike giving up that draft pick.
We’ll definitely three teams that could use to shake it up.Ok here is a wild trade. It is based upon Wizards Blowing up the team and making a separate trade for Beal
Kings Get: Simmons, Gary Clark
Philly Gets: Russell Westbrook
Wizards Gets: Buddy,Bagley,Grant Hill, Kings #9, Philly !st
