Ben Simmons He is the last major player in the NBA transfer market in 2021 before the regular season begins in October. On September 2, it was announced that the player had rebelled with the Philadelphia 76ers, and the relationship had been permanently broken in search of a transfer as the only viable solution.
From that moment on, the franchises that had already rang to sign him came back to the charge with everything: Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, Sacramento Kings, Minnesota Timberwolves, Toronto Raptors and Portland Trail Blazers.
Precisely, the Blazers had positioned themselves as the main favorite of the transfer after their star, Damien Lillard, “Like” a Twitter post showing an edited image with him and Simmons together in Portland.

However, as Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Gina Mizell reports, there are members of the Portland Trail Blazers organization who are not convinced by Ben Simmons’ arrival in the Oregon franchise. The reason, the possible lace issues that the Australian may have while playing with Damian Lillard.
CJ McCollum would be the one chosen to leave
Although he recently came out to make a series of statements about the new season and the motivation to compete with the Blazers, CJ McCollum would have his hours ticked in Portland if Ben Simmons’ transfer was ultimately accepted. The goalie is the little he can convince the Philadelphia 76ers to reach a bright spot in the negotiations.
