Everybody in the basketball world seems to have an opinion on what is going on with Ben Simmons and the Philadelphia 76ers. Everybody seems to want to discuss the situation and give their two cents on what is going on around the team and the star player.
Now, Philadelphia basketball legend and South Carolina women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley has entered the conversation and given her thoughts on the situation. Staley is also an avid Sixers fan and she joined Sixers guard Danny Green and Harrison Sanford on “Inside the Green Room” to give her thoughts on the Simmons saga.
Staley said:
Ben’s gotta go. Ben’s gotta go. Ben’s gotta go. I mean, Ben’s not happy. If he’s not happy, you gotta go. We gotta get some for him though. We got to get something big for him. He’s been great. He’s a stat filler, but we got to get something in return.
Dawn Staley says Ben Simmons has "got to go."

The Sixers are currently trying to get everything they possibly can for Simmons at the moment. While they will most likely not move him before the Feb. 10 trade deadline, they are looking to move him in the offseason to get that star player they are hoping to grab and put next to Joel Embiid.
