wall is currently in Houston Rockets He struggled to add sports for about two and a half years due to several injuries that prevented him from playing regularly.
His huge contract prevented it from being easily negotiable and complicates the organization’s plans, because for the next two seasons he owes $91.6 million, one of the best pay in the league. NBA.
In theory, Simmons’ agreement for Wall and some supplemental numbers makes sense, given that the 76ers point guard contract includes $146 million over the next four seasons, about $36 million per season, which is somewhat less than what Wall will receive in the next two years.
Morey gave the hapless Tracy McGrady indefinite leave of absence from The Rockets while doing a deal in 2009-2010. Could he do the same with Ben Simmons?

But the 76ers’ requirements for the deal became too obvious throughout the holiday period, requiring a young star and several other personalities to bolster their roster. Wall doesn’t fall into the first category at 31 and beyond, if they want to accompany him with a young character, the names Galen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. seem untouchable.
Thus, an agreement between the two organizations seems really unlikely, given that the Sixers’ intentions are to continue fighting for the NBA Championship and obtaining Wall does not provide them with anything of value added in that regard. It would be a poor business decision and Daryl Morey doesn’t seem willing to take such a risk.
