Beijing time on January 13th news, from “The Athletic” reporter Sam – Amick reported that well-informed sources revealed that the 76ers have no interest in a Ben Simmons trade for Russell Westbrook.
Not only Westbrook, but the Sixers front office has no interest in any bad play, sources said. In other words, Philadelphia has no intention of helping the Lakers slow down the bad situation of the Big Three through trade.
The Lakers acquired Westbrook in a trade last offseason. But after wearing the purple and gold, Westbrook’s overall performance was lower than expected, and he did not have a good chemistry with LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
Against this backdrop, the Lakers hope to sell Westbrook. However, Westbrook has a big contract, so he has no market in the trading market.
“Sports Illustrated” reporter Chris Mannix followed up the report, and he got the tip that the 76ers did not lower the trade offer for Simmons, and any package deal must have a mature All-star.
In addition, the 76ers also hope to include Tobias Harris in the Simmons trade.
Sources pointed out that if the 76ers don’t trade Simmons at the trade deadline this year, Simmons’ situation may drag on until the summer’s draft and free agency.
So far this season, Westbrook has played 41 games for the Lakers, averaging 35.4 minutes per game, handing over 19.0 points, 8.1 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.1 steals, while shooting 44.4% from the field. As for Simmons, he has yet to play for the 76ers this season.Return to Sohu, see more
