After the 76ers became the head coach at Rivers last season, the team seemed to have opened up the second line of supervision, strength and performance directly to a level, and finally overwhelming the Nets to get a good result in the East. , Became the favorite of the championship.
In the playoffs, with the 76ers sitting on the home court, they have encountered the Wizards and the Hawks and other less powerful opponents. Their way into the Eastern Conference Finals was basically opened up. But who would have imagined that in the Eastern Conference semifinals, facing the Eagles , who was obviously inferior to their own strength, the 76ers encountered Waterloo and lost to their opponents 3:4, breaking out a big upset.
3:4 lost to the Hawks, this result was indeed unexpected to the fans, 76ers general Simmons also became the team's sinner! In the series with the Eagles, Simmons's weaknesses were completely exposed. Although defense and passing are still at the top level, he lacks shooting ability, even free throws are not guaranteed, and even weak hands at critical moments. It can be said that the 76ers lost to the Eagles, and Simmons had to carry a big deal, so he was put on the trading shelf by the 76ers.
The 76ers wanted to trade Simmons, which attracted the attention of many teams. After all, this is a top NBA player, and there is plenty of potential. Become one of the cornerstones of the team, even the Warriors want Simmons, but in the face of the Warriors' intentions, the 76ers are open.
1 for 6! The 76ers open their mouths!
According to an NBA reporter,For the Warriors to trade Simmons, the 76ers once proposed a 1-for-6 trading plan! The specific content is: the 76ers sent Simmons, traded for the Warriors' Wiggins + Wiseman + 7th pick + 14th pick and two future first-round picks.
1 for 6, even including Wiggins and Wiseman, the 76ers are completely like a lion, not to mention Simmons, even when the Rockets first traded Harden, I dare not make such an offer. It is completely impossible.
Faced with the 76ers' offer, the Warriors of course chose to reject it. Even for Simmons' positioning, they have reconsidered. Even if the 76ers lower the price, they may no longer ask for Simmons.
Simmons is quite suitable for the Warriors. He has a strong view of passing the ball and can act as an engine on the offensive end. It works perfectly with the Splash Brothers. On the defensive end, Simmons can defend from position 1 to position 4, becoming the defensive gate of the Warriors and can effectively to enhance the strength of the Warriors. But relatively speaking, Simmons's role is similar to Green. Although his ability is greater than Green, it is impossible to bring the Warriors to the Nets level at once, so for Simmons, they basically chose Give up, unless the 76ers drastically cut prices.
Warriors refuse to be fooled, which leaves Simmons missing a big deal, and Lillard (the pioneer) is expected to take advantage of the fire.
The warrior refused to be fooled,Lillard took advantage of the fire to rob!
Today, a fan posted a photo of Simmons wearing a Trailblazers jersey with Lillard. Lillard himself praised this tweet, indicating that he has the intention of partnering with Simmons, and the Trail Blazers The team does have a chance to get Simmons.
After the Warriors basically withdrew from the Simmons contention, now they are the most eager to get Simmons, and only Timberwolves and the Kings, but their two teams are not only weak. And the Timberwolves are unwilling to send any one of Russell, Downs, and Edwards. The King will not send Fox. Such a bargaining chip is hard to be impressed. This makes the Trailblazers CJ slowly become One of the best options for trading Simmons.
The 76ers have always wanted to trade Simmons for a superstar or a bunch of chips, but this idea is no longer realistic. In comparison, the Blazers' CJ is more reliable! CJ is a defender and a strong offensive defender. He averaged more than 20 points per game, which is very suitable for the current 76ers system, but his role on the defensive end is low, and his reputation is not enough, so that he has not impressed the 76ers for a long time. people. But if Simmons hasn't traded when the new season approaches, the Blazers will have an advantage over other teams. In this case, the 76ers may have no choice but to trade.
If the Blazers can trade to Simmons, it will undoubtedly be a big reinforcement for the team and will also become a right-hand man around Lillard, which is very helpful for keeping Lillard. It is also one of the best solutions for the global team to compete with , but their success depends on the 76ers' next operations.
