While the sixers, very greedy, are rumored to be ready to transfer Ben Simmons that if it allowed them to recover Damian Lillard, former coach of the year (2007) Sam Mitchell believes him that Philadelphia would be better off looking at his teammate instead CJ McCollum…
“If I could have CJ McCollum against Ben Simmons, I would definitely do it for a second. I know Ben Simmons is 2.11m and CJ 1.90m, blah blah blah… But if you look, ever since he came to the NBA out of college, CJ has been a productive player. And just as important: he’s an adult. Think what people think of CJ McCollum, the players elected him union president. Think about it. If you get CJ McCollum back, not only does it get you 20 points per game, but you get a guy who’s an adult. Sam Mitchell
Multiple reports suggest the Philadelphia 76ers will not trade Ben Simmons to Portland unless it’s for Damian Lillard.
