Simmons won the Taipei League pursuit! The 76ers rejected the possibility of his return: Let him go to the Celtics

On August 6, the NBA entered the offseason. So far, Ben Simmons has not signed with any team. He was reportedly given the active pursuit of Kaohsiung Sea Gods from the TPBL League. In addition, the 76ers reporter rejected the possibility of Simmons returning to Philadelphia.

Simmons is the basic salary target of many strong teams in the NBA, and he has not signed with any team yet. According to Taiwanese media reports, sources revealed that the Kaohsiung Sea God of the TPBL League is actively contacting Simmons. According to people familiar with the matter, the Sea God is currently in contact with Simmons' joining, and whether it can be achieved will depend on the foreign aid system and quota standards for the new season of the TPBL League. If the negotiations are successful, Simmons will become the third NBA big shot to enter the Taiwan Basketball Team, before Howard and Cousins.

According to previous reports, the Celtics, the Knicks, etc. were all revealed to be interested in getting Simmons. In response, when RB Philly Take, a 76er reporter from Bleacher Report, talked about Simmons, flatly rejected the possibility of Simmons returning to the 76ers. He said: "The 76ers fans, many of whom claim to be fans of the 76ers, hope Simmons will return to Philadelphia. Because they say that Simmons is a forward and the team needs a power forward. Teams such as Kings, Knicks, Suns and Celtics are all connected with Simmons. Meanwhile, the Knicks and Celtics are popular next homes."

Then RBPhillyTake continued: "I would say, Boston is fast, fast, Sign Simmons. It is very funny to think of George Nian and Simmons as teammates, especially Nian has trashed him before. Those fans who hope Simmons will return to the Sixers are all confused. We should stay away from him and let him go to the Celtics. "

In the regular season of the 2024-25 season, Simmons played 51 games for the Nets and the Clippers, averaging 5.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, and shooting percentage of 52.0%.
