Ben Simmons trade rumors: Cavaliers a team to watch in potential deal for 76ers star guard, per report

Article Summary:
Several teams have expressed interest, but the Sixers continue to hold an extremely high asking price for Simmons, who finished second in Defensive Player of the Year voting last season. Here’s what Wojnarowski had to say about the situation during a recent appearance on NBA Countdown:
Ben Simmons in Philadelphia, I think you’ll start to see the 76ers re-engage teams. So expect Philly to start talking more with teams as we get closer to that Feb. 10 deadline, and it will be interesting to see if Cleveland re-engages as a team that I think’s built for long-term success with all their young players.
Collin Sexton is a player who has been mentioned as an attractive asset in a return for Simmons, but he’s sidelined for the remainder of the season after knee surgery, so he won’t be able to help the Sixers in the short team.
