Scotto: When I talk to other executives around the league about the situation with the Sixers, nobody feels sorry for Daryl Morey around the league. They think his asking price is way too high coming off the playoffs. Teams know Ben Simmons doesn’t want to be there. I’ve heard this from some executives, too, that when Joel Embiid was healthy and before their recent losing streak, this team was performing well without him. Some executives said to me it further lowered the trade value for Ben.

This is the first time the Sixers got blown out since Joel Embiid left the lineup. Not totally unexpected. Problem is, they didn’t close out any close games.
Remaining road trip schedule: Denver, Portland, Sacramento and Golden State. Looking like a super painful two weeks. – 11:49 PM

Curry now 0-for-5 from the floor. After that torrid start to the season, he’s regressing to the mean big-time now. And now getting as many clean looks without Embiid down low. – 10:41 PM

About to tip off here in SLC. Both coaches talked pregame about their poor recent defensive outings. Curious to see who can get right tonight. Big difference is Utah has Gobert, and Sixers don’t have Embiid (or Thybulle…or Simmons…) – 10:05 PM

More on this storyline
Pompey: I think we have seen Simmons play his last game in Philly. In regards to trade talks, I’m hearing they’re on pause right now. As you said, his trade value is extremely low. -via HoopsHype / November 17, 2021
Scotto: Keith, you touched on the Warriors earlier. There are some in the organization that obviously think (Simmons) would thrive there, and there are others who think that he would be a tough fit because he’s a duplicate of Draymond Green. -via HoopsHype / November 17, 2021
Pompey: I think the whole thing is disappointing. I think it’s disappointing on both sides. I get that you have a player under contract, and they want to fine him, but it just seems like we knew since the end of last season that Ben Simmons didn’t want to be here. When you do your research and talk to sources, they were alerted of that right afterward, within days afterward (after the playoffs). Rich Paul told them that at the NBA Draft Combine, and then Ben told them that in person in August. You’re under the impression something’s going to happen. It hasn’t happened yet. -via HoopsHype / November 17, 2021
