Sixers podcast: Ben Simmons trade proposal frenzy

On this episode of The Sixer Sense Podcast, we mainly focus on a variety of issues surrounding Sixers point guard Ben Simmons. From trade speculation to reconciliation with the fans, Lucas Johnson and Christopher Kline dive right in.

After Stephen A. Smith commented on ESPN recently about Ben Simmons’ standing in the trade market, there is some belief that the Golden State Warriors will be interested in an exchange. We provide insight on why this could make sense for both Philly and the Warriors. Then, we discuss player trade possibilities from both sides.

The podcast also goes into another hot rumor that includes Portland Trail Blazers superstar Damian Lillard. How could Daryl Morey make this deal happen? Lucas and Chris open up the conversation with multiple deals that could bring Lillard to the 76ers.

After letting the fans down with his poor offensive performance versus the Atlanta Hawks, Ben Simmons has lost the faith of Philly fans and maybe even his own teammates. The podcast discusses what Simmons could do this offseason to help regain trust from the city that drafted him.

The following topic involves former Sixers still in the postseason. The podcast ranks Lou Williams, Dario Saric, Mikal Bridges, and Jrue Holiday in terms of how impactful they’ve been in the playoffs so far. We also talk about who we are rooting for to win their first title.

The final segment gives us a chance to share response from our social media accounts. We read aloud some trade proposals involving Ben Simmons. There are quite a few that made us chuckle, while a few raised eyebrows. Listen to see if your reply was shared!
