Ben Simmons does not intend to stay in Philadelphia.
It was reported yesterday that only after a long hiatus, the Australian met last week with the organization's management and informed the team leaders that he does not intend to wear Philly's jersey anymore and is not even interested in coming to the upcoming training camp in three weeks.
Earlier this week it was reported that Minnesota and Toronto are the prominent candidates to take on the Australian, but this morning (Wednesday) the US insists that the Los Angeles Lakers, Clippers, Golden State and Sacramento are interested in Simmons' services with an emphasis on the last two teams on the list.
The Philadelphia 76ers would only consider De'Aaron Fox or Tyrese Haliburton in Ben Simmons trade talks with the Sacramento Kings, per @JandersonSacBee
"The Kings are unlikely to part with either player, but they can offer Buddy Hield."

"Either way, in Sacramento B," the Siskers reportedly made it clear to the Kings that they only intend to listen to offers, which would include Diaron Fox or Tyris Halberton - the team's two future players. Maxi, is expected to be part of the outgoing package.In other words: the saga is only in full swing.
