You don’t need us to tell you how things have been so far when it comes to the Ben Simmons saga.

After his infamous playoff performances, first, it was clear that the 76ers didn’t want him. Then sources said it was clear that the player wanted out as well. And now, while there is no doubt that both parties want to part ways, the franchise has struggled to strike a deal with anyone just yet.
