the SixerWhich is deciding what will change this season. Still insisting that they are committed. Ben Simmons In the long run, however, if the 76ers seriously explore Simmons’ potential during this offseason, Timberwolves It is among the teams expected to show interest, Darren Wolfson of SKOR North said on The Scoop (audio link).
“I send a message to someone who knows Ben Simmons very well (and is) knowledgeable about all things NBA.” Wolfson said “My message the other day said. ‘How much did the wolf want in exchange for Ben Simmons?’ This person texted me back with just one word: ‘Aw,’.
“Make no mistake, the Wolves have an interest in Ben Simmons.” Wolfson continued. “… (President of Basketball Operations) Gersson Roses It̵7;s about to show – or it already has. Go back several months – interested in Ben Simmons.”
as Kurt Helin of NBC Sports wrote. The wolf might not part with Karl-Anthony Towns or Anthony Edwards in any agreement this season to leave D’Angelo Russell It’s the centerpiece of the Simmons offering.

While Simmons has been considered a point guard in most of his NBA career, The defensive lineman of the year runners-up was more than capable of defending three and four. That would make him a good fit for Minnesota.
