Ben Simmons says he wants to leave Philadelphia, so here are some potential landing spots

The Philadelphia 76ers say they want Ben Simmons in training camp and on the court.

For now, Simmons doesn’t want anything to do with the Sixers and does not plan on showing up when training camp begins next week.

The Sixers can withhold salary and fine him, but it appears Simmons is prepared for that scenario, too.

While both parties tussle for leverage, one factor to consider: the Sixers won’t rush into a deal, and president of basketball operations Daryl Morey won’t make a bad deal just for the sake of eliminating the issue. If he can’t get Simmons to change his mind, he wants something of value in return for a team trying to win a championship with All-Star center Joel Embiid in his prime.
