Why does want to be traded:

The Philadelphia 76ers and Ben Simmons have not seemed to progress anywhere in terms of a potential trade over the last handful of weeks, and now with training camp drawing closer and closer, there is not much time left for the Sixers to capitalize on their NBA All-Star.

This whole situation in Philadelphia is very puzzling, and with the 76ers not willing to come down on their asking price for Simmons, they could very well end up stuck with him as training camp begins. 

On August 31, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirerreported that Ben Simmons told the Sixers that he wanted to be traded and was not planning to attend training camp. Seeing as nothing has changed over the last two weeks, this still seems to be true, as Simmons will likely continue to hold out as the start of the 2021-22 season draws near. 

Rockets:

Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons has made it clear he does not intend to show up for training camp or play another game for the organization as he waits for his trade request to be fulfilled.

The relationship between Simmons and the team has been severely fractured and is past the point of no return. The best thing the Sixers can do now is get the most value they can get in return for one of the game’s brightest, yet maddening, stars.

Olympics:

Ben Simmons has decided against playing for the Australian Men’s National basket team. … As the Australian Boomers prepare for a promising Olympic Games in Tokyo this coming week, one notable Australian NBA player will not be fighting for the gold.
