Daryl Morey on if there is any hope for a reconciliation with Ben Simmons. “I think there is a lot of hope.” He added that a “thousand pounds of digital ink” was spilled on Aaron Rodgers being traded from Green Bay & he just led the Packers to a comeback victory last night. – 11:09 AM

The problem with making a huge stink about not wanting to play for your team, and that team then making it very public, is that it makes it extremely difficult to get value or even make a move. That’s why the Sixers are still sitting on Ben Simmons. #NBA – 9:31 AM

Whoever you talk to around the league, it’s a lot of the same thing when it comes to a Ben Simmons trade: “It all starts Monday”.
If/when Simmons does not show up to training camp, that’s when the trade market really starts to materialize, and real offers start coming in. – 7:59 PM
