There has been a lot of focus on the Philadelphia 76ers as they work through their issues with NBA All-Star Ben Simmons. The team believes they can convince Simmons to come back and play for them, but that seems like a long shot at best.
The 76ers plan to fine him for everything that he misses, whether it’s training camp like he has said he will miss already, preseason, or regular-season games.
Those fines are likely to ring up quickly as Simmons already stated he has no plans to be at training camp in less than two weeks.
That will continue to dominate headlines until it is resolved. The Simmons trade could change the landscape of the NBA upon completion. There could be a new contender in the league with him on the roster and the 76ers, depending on the package they receive, could have improved as well.

With all of the focus there, the 76ers could still be looking to make deals elsewhere to continue bolstering their roster.
Could an acquisition of Cam Reddish be in the cards at some point? The 76ers and Atlanta Hawks could work out a deal centered around their recent first-round picks such as this one.
