NBA training camp is fast approaching, and Ben Simmons is still a Philadelphia 76er. But not for much longer according to another report on the disgruntled star. Shams Charania of The Athletic reported executives around the league believe “it’s only a matter of when—not if—the All-Defensive team stalwart is moved.”

The Sixers have been exploring trade possibilities all offseason long as the relationship between Ben Simmons and the Sixers appears not to be salvageable.

Shams also mentioned that Philadelphia “has its eyes set” on Damian Lillard, who the Portland Trail Blazers are “fully focused” on building around.

The Sixers and Ben Simmons need to part ways like yesterday.
