Daryl Morey said Sixers are ‘less likely than likely’ to move Ben Simmons before trade deadline

PHILADELPHIA — People hoping to see the 76ers move Ben Simmons before the Feb. 10 NBA trade deadline might be disappointed.

Sixers President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey was asked how likely it is for Simmons to be dealt before the deadline during a Thursday evening appearance on The Mike Missanelli Show on 97.5 The Fanatic.

“I think it’s less likely than likely,” Morey said. “But, you know, hopefully I’m wrong. Like, look, it won’t be from a lack of trying. We have a whole team [in the] front office. It’s all we do. We have no other job that matters. It’s all we are working on.”
