Do you remember that game “phone”? You and a group of other children will form a big circle. A person will first whisper a word or phrase in the ear of the person on the right. From there, it’s all about trying to circle around, whispering the same words.

It is the perfect representative of our society, because very few—if any—use the same word to express it.Just can’t distinguish you Actually What do you hear miss you The former Twitter trolls who heard, or deliberately sabotaged the game, made everything related to themselves.

Just like beauty in the eyes of the beholder, the value lies in how the individual defines it; it will change with the whispers offline. This is especially true in sports. Everyone, from the 76ers themselves to the fans, when talking about the Ben Simmons trade, hopes that “value” will return, but defining the word is the beginning of a disconnect. Just like our childhood games, the true value of Simmons is often lost in translation. The trolls, radio callers, and temporary workers – who abandoned the alliance during The Process – did not make things easier by inserting their version of value, which is similar to turning the word “plate” into a “vacuum.” .

My definition of value may be different from yours. Your definition of value may be different from the Portland Trail Blazers or some of the idiots on the morning TV show.

But only one person’s definition of value is truly important: Darryl Morey.

The harsh reality is Simmons, and the 76ers saw their point guard’s After this past season, the value has dropped a little bit. To be fair, everyone’s stocks have fallen, some more than others. Simmons exposed his fear of scoring in a scoring-led league, and this cannot be mitigated in the trade just because of his excellent defense. It helps, but it will not let GM forget the Eagle series.

Morey is the best executive of our management team in this city for a long time, so I am very happy to see him back. He is very creative and has a deep understanding of how to handle hats. These two things helped Howie Rothman establish the Super Bowl championship. He must be creative to maximize any return for Simmons, and he must become a magician, turning defense into offense—in a league that values ??scoring more than ever.

The good news for us anxiously waiting to see the outcome is that Morey really only has three choices in how to trade Simmons, and it may even be easier than that. As you will see, this is actually about two general options instead of three, and you can fill in the definition of value like a phone circle in a summer camp.

First, there is a potential trade that is important for the returning pick. But the whole reason the team moved Simmons in the first place was to capture Joel Embiid’s winning pattern. Therefore, unless Morey has some advanced plans to trade a bunch of assets/drafts, and then transfer them to a player on or before draft night, it’s time to redline this option now. They now need someone who can play with Embiid and Harris to make this team a true offensive contender.

Other options are stars or super stars. We know the latter, Damian Lillard. Whether Portland really broke up with Mrs. Dora — if it requires a team like Minnesota or Sacramento to make a big request in a three-team deal — is a huge obstacle that needs to be cleared. Morey may not have ammunition or suitable dancing partners to actually make this deal. Another question is whether Portland is willing to trade one of the league’s most prolific scorers in return for an elite guard who is afraid of shooting. Again, although he is still valuable in this league, Simmons is not equal to Lillard. Therefore, for this option, there are still major obstacles and work to be done to make it possible.

The last option is my favorite because this is where I can say I told you. During the draft and the final selection of Simmons through the 76ers, I debated with many people on the radio about who else could play. This is the person I am trading for now, knowing that you can be the winner of this trade, most likely to get a spot shooter or another big man, even if a third team is needed.

Trade Brandon Ingram. If you don’t like that, start with Bill before looking at Lillard. Promoted him in the final year of Zach LaVine’s trade with Chicago. The irony is that I was arguing with the caller and other presenters about why Ingram is more suitable for Embiid, and when everything is said, he may actually move forward in this team.

From an offensive point of view, he fits perfectly and is one of the greatest progress stories in the game. He gives you 24 points every night-consistent in the past two seasons-and has made nearly 40% of his three-pointers. He is also not afraid of going to the free throw line, and most importantly, he can take over later in the game.

Ingram’s contract lasts for four years, and from a monetary point of view, it is actually valid. The only concern is that Morey needs a third team to participate, because New Orleans may not want Simmons and Zion Williamson together, which will give up a lot of shots at the same time. I am very satisfied with Bill and I am also very satisfied with LaVine, but if they really trade with Ingram, there will be a slight redress.

Again, your definition of the value that the 76ers get may be different from mine. It may also be different from Morey’s. The unfortunate ending makes it impossible to determine who Simmons is or (will be) in Philadelphia.

He is one of the most difficult to define athletes in the history of our city. There is no uniform definition of Simmons’s equal value in the transaction, and half of you can’t even define his value in the current team.

I always hate that stupid game.
