Joe Lacob: Ben Simmons Trade Doesn't Really Fit What We're Doing
Joe Lacob spoke with the San Francisco Chronicle and referenced the Golden State Warriors' potential interest in trading for Ben Simmons.
Lacob referred to Simmons not by name but as the "Defensive Player of the Year candidate in Philadelphia."
"I think we are always looking at everything to see if we can improve our team. We would always look," Lacob told Rusty Simmons.
Sources say the 76ers have had an exorbitant asking price for Simmons. The Warriors would likely be required to send either Andrew Wiggins or Draymond Green along with several young players and future picks.
"In some ways, it doesn't really fit what we're doing. He makes a lot of money. And, can he finish games? I don't know," said Lacob. "He's very talented. The problem is: We have Draymond. Draymond and him are very similar in the sense that neither one really shoots and they do a lot of the playmaking. That's one issue. The salary structure is another."
