the Wolves firing Rosas has made this a lot more likely, since I doubt between the ownership transfer and that that anyone here will feel empowered enough to pull the trigger on that

the universe once again conspires to make the most hilarious outcome happen

Beasley and prospects and draft picks, which seems to be about as good as they're being offered by anyone if the Indiana trade leak is real

I don’t even know who “Beasley” is so yeah I don’t think that was going to work

Morey isn’t selling low

Malik Beasley, who is a pure scoring wing on a team friendly contract, but if Morey isn't selling low then he's bringing Simmons back because lol at anyone going all in on him right now

well he’s bringing him back yeah .

I think if Morey strikes out on Beal and dame they will move Simmons for a combo deal like Indiana floated

from a beat writers article

On their end, the Sixers have been consistent about their approach to the situation. Daryl Morey is willing to make a trade if it maintains their current championship odds or improves them, and continues to explore the market as opportunities present themselves. But if such a move is not available, the Sixers prefer to keep Simmons and compete with the current group. Philadelphia is well aware that offseason positivity could fade for many teams around the league when the real games begin, and the front office is expected to be patient rather than deal Simmons for 10 cents on the dollar.

“At this point, I don’t care about that man,” Embiid said Tuesday. “He does whatever he wants. That’s not my job, that’s [the front office’s] job. I’m only focused on trying to make the team better, win some games, play hard every night, try to lead the guys we have here, and I’m sure they feel the same way. Our chemistry has been happening the last few months. So like I said, I don’t really care.

“I don’t care. That’s his problem. I’m only focused on what we’ve been doing. As a team, we’re going to be
fine."

Embiid — who told reporters recently that he and Simmons had not spoken since Philadelphia’s second-round defeat in June — still has not spoken to Simmons since the Australian returned to the team last week. As a team leader, Embiid noted the importance of having relationships with all of his teammates, but believes it is not his responsibility to get Simmons to buy back into the team concept.

“At the end of the day, our job is not to babysit somebody,” Embiid said. “We get paid for on the court, go out and play hard, win some games, that’s what we get paid for. We don’t get paid to come out here and try to babysit somebody. That’s not our job, and I’m sure my teammates feel that way.”

The core leaders on the 76ers — such as Joel Embiid, Tobias Harris and Matisse Thybulle — and most of the team were set to take a jet to see Simmons before being turned away, sources said. Multiple sources said Simmons didn’t want his teammates, some of whom he considers friends, to make the Philadelphia-to-Los Angeles commute out of courtesy because he won’t change his mind on wanting a trade.

Simmons didn't cut off all communication with members of the Sixers organization this offseason. Several players, including Danny Green, Tyrese Maxey, Matisse Thybulle, and Tobias Harris, all mentioned they've had contact with Simmons at some point during the summer. However, the team's top player Joel Embiid was among those who couldn't get through to the 25-year-old three-time All-Star.

"Personally, I haven't talked to him since the season ended," Embiid said in regards to Simmons following Monday night's preseason victory over the Brooklyn Nets. "Obviously, I tried, but it wasn't successful as a lot of my teammates."

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
