With that being said, it’s also reported that the 76ers asking price for Ben Simmons is completely ridiculous.

Check out this reported ask from the Warriors when Golden State called about Simmons.

Obviously, the Golden State Warriors declined that package in return for Ben Simmons.

Simmons is coming off of a truly horrid postseason performance. And while the upside is still there, the 76ers might have to be content getting a return they wouldn’t have in previous years.

Along with the Warriors, the Timberwolves were also said to have been in on Simmons along with a couple of other teams willing to take him on as a project, of sorts.

Ben Simmons will need a lot of work, and allegedly has no interest in returning to the 76ers. Philly might need to bite the bullet on this one, or they could end up with nothing.
