I'd sign this if I am in the position of Ben Simmons.
The clock's ticking and this could avoid him from paying the fine of not attending the training camp of the 76ers.
It's a win-win situation but the only problem I can see is him.
He may be the picky type and he doesn't like the Cavs environment or he could be aiming at a higher standard team name like Clippers, GSW, or the Lakers.
Considering the rosters of those teams that are packed with stars, he may not be able to even gain minutes per game.


Probably if he doesn't want to pay any fine for not doing his obligation for the Sixers, the point I see here is the willingness of Sixers to let him go and sacrifice with the condition that they are trying to acquire.

Based from that article Cavs really wants to get Simmons and they are trying to free up their capacities to offer and negotiate with the Sixers, it's then in the hands of Sixers to adjust and make this trade to happen if they really want to grant Simmons request.

Aiming for a much more competitive team now might not work as those mentioned teams already have stars that fits to their needs, unless Sixers will be the one to bargain Simmons it might work not sure though if what sacrifices they needed to deal with if they push things out.

And now there are rumors' that the Cavs are interested of him. Ben Simmons trade rumors: Cavaliers still trying to acquire 76ers' All-Star, per report.

If he really wanted to move and be traded, Cavs might work. He can try blending his talent and try to work things out with this franchise.

Waiting for further updates about this rumor or to what team Simmons will land and play.
It seems that many other teams aren't interested in Simmons at all, considering that the 76ers ask too much for him. However, there are also rumors that the Timberwolves are want to get him. So I guess only three teams might potentially get Simmons at the moment. It's the Cavs, Wolves, and probably the Kings.

In defense of Ben, yes he is really good player, but that performance was really blown out of proportions. He really struggled in that series. Regular season vs playoff though is very different, that's why it was highlighted because he is doing very well in the regular season, even carry the team when Joel was absent. But in the playoff, it was very different, that he himself wanted to be traded.

Playoff is the very important and with his performances during that time, he's been highlighted and now subject being traded to another team.

You pointed it right. He even carries the team during the regular season together with Harris, Green, Howard and Curry.
But his performance change up when Embiid came back. His productions really went down and fans and haters are now criticizing him because of that.

I'm also surprised that the management is also dragging this drama too long. They are not going to get the best or max deals for a player that couldn't shoot.

Perhaps no team is really taking the bait and that's why Sixers doesn't want to trade Ben and get B-players. But they are asking too much for a trade so it's a lose-lose situation for Sixers and Ben himself.
We cannot tell for sure but they probably passed on a lot of decent deals just to get the max offer. It will become a lose-lose for them if they prolong this ordeal. I think Ben's trade value will continue diminish as they approach the deadline.
They sure have a plan before the deadline, they are just looking for the best trades for now, and only if they find one will they will release Ben.

I think Ben Simmons is one of the best players in the NBA despite having bad performance in the last playoffs, but that was the only time where he struggle, prior to that, he was really contributing and especially in the regular season, so I believe the problem was the implementation of the game plan that time, it's not him as the coach knows his strength and weaknesses.

Yes it's obvious that they are still looking but it seems nobody wanted him bad enough to meet what the Sixers management are asking. Other teams must be thinking they will have no other choice but to lower their demand in exchange of Ben. He's not the type of player that can carry a whole team after all.

yes, that's a preseason schedule, you can see the full schedule here.
https://basketball.realgm.com/nba/preseason/schedule
October 3 is the start of the preseason, the LA Lakers and Nets will open it with only one game on that certain day.
And yes, you are maybe correct, the starters might not play or they will, let's just expect limited minutes from them since preseason are mostly for rookies and bench players.
I didn't notice that the NBA will start soon, at least preseason is still exciting too, though not as exciting as the regular season. I would not expect a lot but seeing them play in just a few minutes, that's already a good display to the fans and the fans will be so happy with that.
We have a betting thread also, but it's not active yet, probably bettors are waiting for the regular season before they will start putting their money.

I think pre-season is full of fun. Not more than the actual season but still, as it is for rookies and bench players, we get to see their potential. We get to know what they are capable of and it also helps to grow up there confidence and it helps them correcting lots of mistakes. And about the betting, yes I agreed, people wanting to spend their money wisely, so bookies will get a huge response after starting the regular season.

Noise is growing louder that Cleveland is interested in the 25-year-old, with NBA reporter Marc Stein revealing on Wednesday that the Cavaliers are eyeing a potential trade.
I was actually thinking about this at the time they want to buyout Kevin Love. Ben Simmons is their target to be listed in their roster but they need more space to build a team around him.
To conclude, I don't think Ben will ever be back in Philly and I don't know how the fans will react but some sides of the story is not yet revealed.
The question is who will Cavaliers give for Simmons. They don't have that good players IIRC. Maybe Sexton might do plus a bunch of average players for Simmons or add another bench player.
Ben will not go back in Philly. Simmons don't like them and the fans and the management doesn't want him either. Now I'm thinking on how he will play when he is playing into another team already and they are in Philly. The fans might "boo" him and add some words that can hurt his morale and reputation.

Well, Kevin love doesn't seem interested in any kind of buyout right now. His agent Jeff schwartz said that he is not interested in negotiating a buyout right now as he has two years and $60 million left on his contract with Cleveland cavaliers.

He shouldn't if he wants to save face even if that means he won't land on any team next season. I think it's too late for any reconciliation between him and the management. The locker room would likely become a mess if he still decides to play for Sixers.

The atmosphere, ohh I can sense that there will be animosity around, specially if they lost again and somewhat Ben is the one to blame.

Less than a month until the Nets come to Los Angeles to play the Lakers for the first time with their new squads. I don’t know if the stars will be playing or not, but I am looking forward to it and hoping they are. As soon as I find out how to watch the game I’ll let it be known.

What is that game? is that a preseason game? because I believe the regular season will start in December, it must be a preseason game, if it is, I don't think the Lakers will let their star players play, I'm sure they'll save it in the regular season.

Morey, meanwhile, had previously insisted he would not trade Simmons, claiming he was an “important part” of the franchise’s future
Box of lies?
They are finding a team that will fit Simmons in the last months so its obvious that this is a lie. I also heard on an interview with Coach Choke Rivers and he is saying positive things about Ben but deep inside, he really is disappointed with his performance.

This news might be offtopic, however, it is also the offseason and I reckon much of you trade cryptocoins hehehe.

Stephen Curry has joined crypto exchange FTX as brand ambassador and as an investor together with NFL legend Tom Brady and his wife Gisele Bundchen.



Just a day ago, Steph took to Twitter and revealed that he was getting started in the cryptic world of crypto exchange.

And now, he has dropped a major announcement that he’s on the table with Antigua-based crypto trading firm FTX. He opened up with this update in style and stated, “I’m thrilled to be announcing my partnering with FTX. They wanted to have their team put together an announcement video. But I told them no worries, I got this… FTX is dope.”

So now the GSW leader owns equity shares and is sharing the table with NFL’s Tom Brady, his wife and model Gisele Bundchen, eSports organization TSM, Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary, Quarterback Trevor Lawrence, and others.

Well, amazingly enough, Stephen Curry is one of the best players in the NBA nowdays, probably the FTX made an interesting marketing strategy. I didn't know what happened and now i know about it
By the way, I believe the FTX should partner with more others NBA basketball players. (although this is just an assumption on my part)



Getting Curry to be an ambassador of the project requires enough money, I think they are really serious because they want to be popular in the crypto space by partnering with the popular personality in sports. They are moving in the right direction, I would say, at least they tried their best with an aggressive form of marketing.
