    Simmons need to fire Klutch/Rich Paul. That's the next order of business that needs to happen if Ben wants to take control of his NBA career.

    76ers Engaged With Nine Known Teams, One 'Mystery' Team On Ben Simmons Trade

    The Philadelphia 76ers remain engaged with nine known teams on a trade for Ben Simmons in addition to a 10th "mystery" team that is unclear even to members of Rich Paul.

    The Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons, Houston Rockets, Indiana Pacers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Portland Trail Blazers, San Antonio Spurs and Toronto Raptors are the nine known teams.

    No team has come close to the asking price set by Daryl Morey and the 76ers as they seek a star on the level of Damian Lillard or Bradley Beal.

    No conversations held by the 76ers have advanced beyond the very first stage.

    The Cavalier sand Wolves have largely made pick-heavy overtures while Philadelphia has countered that they need them to bring specific All-Star caliber stars.

    Plus I do not think the cap math works

    How would you convince Mobley to stay? Would he need a permission slip from his dad? He may very well be the next Hakeem Olajuwon, but if he's disgruntled to be here how does that help the rebuild?

    Sure, yes. But didn't the guy who quote-unquote "works diligently" on quote-unquote "relationships" (LMAO) actually hire him? I mean, speaking of "self-inflicted"...

    He didn't, they hired Doc first, before Morey came to Philly.

    Doc Rivers was hired before Morey was hired.

    Are you putting out subliminal messages?

    Love, Mobley

    Is it me or is Murray very underrated? Every time I watch him he has all the tools to be a starting PG on a high caliber team.

    YES!

    Subliminal messages to anyone and everyone that can help add some elite DEFENSE to Rockets starting 5.
