Anfernee Simons on LeBron James joining 76ers: I mean obviously you see everything that’s going on like in the media and stuff so you see like that you know, LeBron could potentially go there and you know, to me I gotta see it to believe it. So, I forgot what I was doing. I might have been working out or actually I woke up. I just woke up and I saw the news and I was like, “Dang, this is crazy.”
Anfernee Simons on 6th Man role: Obviously you got the ultimate like that confidence in yourself that you feel like you’re a starter. You know, obviously the role is different. You know, you might be coming out off the bench, but you know, my mindset going into the game is I’ve already competed at a high level with starters, and it’s going to be just even easier for me when I come into the game, you know what I mean?

Bob Myers didn’t mind laying out a case for the Sixers, who feel they’ve seriously strengthened their team by trading for Jaylen Brown. They’ve also drafted Labaron Philon Jr. and signed Dean Wade, Anfernee Simons and Ariel Hukporti. “When you’re talking about the Sixers, if he was here I’d say, ‘I honestly believe this is your best chance to win. You have to decide all the other things that are equally important.’ It’s his life, right? He has to play. He has to face the scrutiny of his decision,” Myers said. “Half the people will say, ‘You should’ve done this’ or ‘You should’ve done that’ and criticize him for whatever. It’s his life; he’s been through all that. What I would just say is, ‘If it’s about winning, let’s talk about this team, because you can win here in Philadelphia.’”
