On Thursday, reports came out that the Sixers rejected a gigantic trade offer from the Golden State Warriors for Simmons prior to the NBA Draft on Thursday. Let’s just say, this didn’t go over very well with some Sixers fans, and one fan took to the <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@donceptofficial/video/6990450057929559301?_d=secCgYIASAHKAESMgowg2erm9wS1ae3Btz46moDHMYwCO3FMpF5%2F%2FXz9qN6BdQt8rRXLPxXqfsNcMvR0s8AGgA%3D&amp;checksum=4826ebbc51ad611bda7fb9f169b57f1aa00508bc1bf3e5bff765b6f97aa65358&amp;language=en&amp;preview_pb=0&amp;sec_user_id=MS4wLjABAAAAgXW6C7JbbRggBMIp6bXQsYby-MKGgsEcRVKOT7A9ql3ogGD8mh2lpyRyeu-r3Mhd&amp;share_app_id=1233&amp;share_item_id=6990450057929559301&amp;share_link_id=B3BBFBC9-885B-4F6F-8C7A-4661E0AAECC4&amp;source=h5_m&amp;timestamp=1627639517&amp;tt_from=copy&amp;u_code=d6jcl323a1i4c0&amp;user_id=6702599021758596102&amp;utm_campaign=client_share&amp;utm_medium=ios&amp;utm_source=copy&amp;_r=1">world of TikTok to express his displeasure. </a></p><p>I mean, that’s a pretty huge offer for Simmons.

The Warriors quickly turned it down.</p><p>Philly is apparently looking for a crazy haul for Simmons. The Toronto Raptors and San Antonio Spurs are <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/raptors-phillys-massive-trade-package-for-ben-simmons-rejected/" rel="noopener">two other teams</a> that have <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sixers-rumors-bonkers-asking-price-for-ben-simmons-revealed/" rel="noopener">reportedly turned down</a> similarly massive offers.</p><p>While Simmons is still just 25 years old and extremely talented, it would be a tough sell to give up too much for him right now after his latest playoff struggles. The Sixers star would absolutely help any other team in the regular season, but his current flaws limit him too much in the playoffs to give up such a haul. There’s still room for him to grow, though, and perhaps a fresh start helps him with his shooting demons.</p><p>For the Warriors, having Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson there would help mitigate Simmons’ shooting woes, but Simmons and Draymond Green would overlap. Having two playmaking forwards who are also elite defensively is certainly intriguing next to Steph and Klay, and perhaps Green would be moved in the near future after such a deal due to his age, but the lack of shooting from Simmons and Green would likely cause some problems offensively.</p><p>With the Sixers looking for so much for Simmons right now, it’s hard to see a deal getting done on draft night, or even anytime soon. Perhaps they’ll adjust their asking price down the road after other moves are made. It’s still hard to see Simmons starting next season in Philly after all the rumors that have been put out there.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

One source close to the situation handicapped Miami, Toronto and Washington as the most likely landing spots. The Wizards scenario, of course, would only take place if Beal wound up deciding that it was time for a new chapter outside of the nation’s capital. The moving parts, as you can see, are sometimes part of the same puzzle.</blockquote><p>One recent report suggested the Raptors <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-trade-rumors-raptors-closest-ben-simmons-deal-sixers-among-suitors/" rel="noopener">were the furthest along</a> in Ben Simmons trade talks, though they reportedly recently shot down a trade proposal. The inclusion of the Heat here is somewhat strange given the awkward fit with Jimmy Butler. For the Wizards, it seems like this would only happen if Bradley Beal requests a trade.</p><p>It will be interesting to see in these coming days the trade offers that these teams mentioned above are going to pitch in for the young star. As of right now, it seems like Toronto would be the best bet, but you never know. Other teams could still get in the mix as well.</p><p>Wherever he winds up (assuming he’s traded), Simmons will bring his playmaking skills and elite defending to his new team. If Ben Simmons’ Sixers career is coming to an end, the three-time All-Star <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/simmobe01.html">averaged</a> 15.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 7.7 assists in 275 games for them.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
