According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Kings have considered a package of players that would include Buddy Hield, Harrison Barnes, and two first-round picks.
Pompey said that the 76ers weren't interested in the package, and that "sources have repeatedly said the 76ers are not interested in a deal involving De'Aaron Fox unless he's shipped to a third team."
A source tells Pompey the defensive stalwart is close to being "untouchable."
The Kings have contacted people around the league in order to get background information on Paul Reed, according to a source.
There's a Harris flaw. Multiple teams around the league say that the team is trying to package Harris and Simmons in order to get them to sign with another team.
The Athletic's Sam Amick wrote Wednesday that the Kings appear to be considering the idea more seriously than other teams around the NBA.
Pompey reported that league executives believe the 76ers are content with holding onto Simmons throughout the season and moving him in the off-season.
If James Harden decides to move on, that would mean waiting on a sign-and-trade deal with Brooklyn to get him, or waiting on a superstar like Damian Lillard.
On the other hand, the team can afford to be patient, having started the year 25-18. Even if Simmons is out all year, the group of 76ers can still make it to the playoffs.
Without a second star, the 76ers aren't a true title contender. The team is at risk of wasting a year of Embiid's prime.
The Kings probably don't have many reasons to keep the status quo after an 18-28 start.
The Athletic's Shams Charania reported on Wednesday that they are active in trade conversations and want to build around Fox and Haliburton.
The Kings told Fox's agent that they don't intend to trade him and want to build around the backcourt of Fox and Haliburton.
