> It wasn’t just Embiid who angered the Hawks over the past few seasons. In 2018, while on a video game livestream, Sixers point guard Ben Simmons was trying to convince Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns to continue playing, but Towns wanted to stop because Minnesota was playing Atlanta the following day. Simmons said Towns had “plenty of time” to play the video game because the Wolves were playing the Hawks. Simmons then laughed at his joke.
> Three years later, Simmons was the one people were laughing at with his performance against the Hawks in the playoffs — and Atlanta was the accelerant for the fire that happened in the Sixers organization this offseason with Simmons wanting out.
> “I don’t think we’re the sole reason for what’s happening, but I feel like we shined a bright light on them and helped maybe expose or help show why Philly wasn’t doing what they were expected to do, which was get to the Finals, win championships and all of that good stuff,” Collins said. “It definitely gives us fuel to our fire, and I feel like it does put a big target on our backs knowing that we took down a big dog. I know other teams are going to be coming for us and be prepared for us.”
Title. Could someone help me make the choice? Any advice is appreciated : )
So Simmons is likely going to be traded sometime "soon," and the Cavs have expressed interest in trading for Simmons. One of the main complaints of the Cavs roster is how they have both Collin Sexton and Darius Garland: Two guards with near identical playstyles.
Simmons would be a great pairing next to Garland. Garland would assume the role of primary ball-handler, while Simmons could continue to push the ball in transition. Garland and Simmons could also potentially run a great pick and roll game. The Cavs have decent shooters to put around Simmons, and he would be a big defensive upgrade.
As far as the Sixers go, while Sexton would make their defense worse, he would be a big upgrade for the Sixers offense. The crafty guard that can score just about anywhere on the court would be a great fit next to Embiid, while also giving Embiid spacing, while also potentially creating an effective PnR game with Harris. However, Seth Curry would likely have to be moved to a sixth man role, as Sexton and Curry on the court at the same time would be very problematic on defense.
The Cavs would have to offer some picks and some players to match salaries, perhaps even K-Love just to match Salaries, while the Sixers could trade Love else where. So should the Cavs do this?
UK jags fan here and waiver wire claims are new to me.
Is the list from Tom's tweet below complete and covers every claim made by the teams or will there be more claims that drip feed in?
Also - see Ben Ellefson is claimed by Vkings and Collin Johnson to Giants.

Hi there, I’m a 25 year-old with a step-mom who I truly feel is losing her mind. After another entry in a series of preposterous text exchanges I had with her, I actually tweeted at Ben Collins asking him what to do (and he sent me here!).
Additional context about my step-mom that might be important for recommending advice: -she’s 57 -has always been conservative, but got on the trump train early and hasn’t looked back -current beliefs, summarized- trump is president, every gesture he makes is military comms. Everything on MSM is a lie, and not valid evidence. Covid was planned, part of new world order. Biden played by actor, not actually president and never been to WH. Pelosi/Clinton/Schumer in the pedo cabal. Much more of that stuff. -her son has been diagnosed with schizophrenia -she has always believed in psychic knowing/occult communication abilities in herself -her husband, my father, is completely incapable of any sort of healthy communication, and oftentimes pokes the bear (I can’t say I totally blame him). -she hasn’t been a good mother to me and I don’t think we are particularly close, but I keep engaging because I feel like I’m one of the only people she trusts at all.
But I detail all of this and ask for help because I don’t know how to get through to her. I don’t know who I could refer her to, and I think she needs serious help. I worry that any therapist/counselor wouldn’t be fit to combat her baseless, wild assertions with the fervor and legitimacy she thinks they deserve. What can be done? What should I do?
Thank you in advance.
