Ben Simmons is currently in the midst of a divorce from the Philadelphia 76ers, and the only resolution right now is a trade. The Sixers have been hard at work looking for a trade partner, and while they haven’t found one, it appears as though they have plenty of suitors coming out of the woodwork. Trade talks are beginning to ramp up, and fans in Philly are eager to see what kind of proposals are laid out over the coming weeks.

In a new report from Shams Charania of The Athletic, it was revealed that there are some high profile teams who are looking into Simmons right now. For instance, the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks are two teams who have expressed some interest. The Portland Trail Blazers, Sacramento Kings, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Cleveland Cavaliers have also been putting feelers out.

Per Charania:

“The 76ers are ramping up their efforts to spark multi-team trade scenarios to move Simmons, sources said, and a fresh pool of teams has emerged as potential destinations.

The New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Portland Trail Blazers, Sacramento Kings, Indiana Pacers and Cleveland Cavaliers are among the teams interested in Simmons, sources said, although it’s unclear how much traction Philadelphia truly has on any move.”

At this point, it doesn’t seem like the Sixers are close to a deal, however, it is good to see that Simmons is gaining interest. The sooner he leaves, the better, as the Sixers just want to move on with their lives at this point.

Justin Herbert has been lights out for the Los Angeles Chargers this season. While he does have some moments of inconsistency, there are other times where he is far and away the best player on the field. In his rookie season, Herbert ended up throwing for 30 touchdowns, and last night against the New York Giants, Herbert reached the 30 TD plateau once again.

This was a special moment for Herbert as he reached a milestone that has never been achieved in the history of the NFL. He is now the first quarterback to have thrown 30 touchdowns in each of their first two seasons in the NFL. 

With other young quarterbacks have had two consecutive seasons with 30 touchdowns, they have never done it in their rookie and sophomore seasons. This ultimately makes Herbert special in the grand scheme of things, and it just goes to show how good the Chargers are going to be for years to come.

As for yesterday’s game, the Chargers defeated the Giants by a score of 37-21, and throws like the one below are what led to Herbert’s fantastic performance. If you’re a fan of the Chargers, you can’t help but be excited about the team’s future.

It’s safe to say that many people still haven’t forgiven and forgotten about DaBaby’s disturbing rant about gay people and HIV from Rolling Loud in Miami earlier this year. The North Carolina-bred rapper was a headline performer at the festival’s dates in Los Angeles this weekend and when he jumped on stage, angry fans pelted water bottles, drinks, and other objects at the rapper.

A video from DaBaby’s performance on Sunday night shows the rapper warming up to sing his hit song “Rockstar” as fans in the crowd throw various objects at him, including water bottles and other drinks. The rapper didn’t comment on fans’ behavior at that moment, but it seems the raucousness of the audience quieted down as he kept on performing. During other parts of his show, the self-proclaimed “Live Show Killa” hopped into the crowd and partied with fans in the front row and plenty of happy faces gladly sang every word to his songs.

Tyron Woodley is going up against Jake Paul this Saturday as he will look to avenge his loss from this past August. Jake was originally going to fight Tommy Fury, who dropped out due to a rib injury and a chest infection. As you can imagine, Woodley is very excited about this fight, and as he told TMZ, he is a much better matchup than Fury was.

“Nobody wants to see no f***ing Tommy Fury fight, come on now,” Woodley said. “Now his brother is lit. But, he can’t ride the coattails of Tyson.”

Woodley went on to diss Fury further as he was asked whether or not he is a tougher opponent. This led to a mini rant about how Jake Paul was ducking the smoke, and that he chose Fury because he knew he would lose to Woodley if they fought for a second time.

“Of course I am, s***. That’s why he took [the Fury] fight instead,” Woodley said. “He made a double wager and then didn’t honor it because s***, why would he go back and give me the chance to finish off what I started now that I’ve been in there with him.”

Now, Paul will have a chance to prove Woodley wrong, all while Tyron has an opportunity to force a trilogy match, with a win. It should make for an entertaining duel, and it all goes down in Tampa Bay. Let us know who you think will win, in the comments below.
