Yes, it's official now: Ben Simmons has asked for a trade to the Philadelphia 76ers, and he'll be wearing a different jersey next season! According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, the Australian player had a conversation with Doc Rivers and Daryl Morey: Simmons told his head coach and the president that he wants to be traded and that he'll no longer play with the Sixers. He also made it known that he will not be part of training camp.
Let the deals flow.
It's obvious that Simmons have severed his tie with the Sixers after the playoffs.
Now it's a game on which team Simmons are going to be traded with. Maybe there are teams that are interested on him despite his awful free throw shooting. He used to be the second man in the Sixers and in Joel's absence, he takes charge. But he was exposed in the playoffs, so you can't blame him for leaving this way. All finger points to him as one reason why they've lost to the Hawks.
