Philadelphia’s trade conversations on Ben Simmons gathering momentum in recent days

The 76ers are trying to shop Ben Simmons and in the recent days the trade conversations have gathered momentum.

Per ESPN (via RealGM): The 76ers have sought a top-25 player in exchange for Simmons and have discussed two-team and three-team scenarios.

The possibility of a trade opens up on December 15th when players that signed offseason deals become eligible for inclusion in a deal.

While Damian Lillard has been a target of interest to the 76ers, the Portland Trial Blazers have made it clear that he is not available.
