One of the teams that continues to come up in reports for interest in trading for Simmons is the Indiana Pacers. 

However, Kyle Neubeck of the PhillyVoice reported on Thursday that the 76ers have not been very interested in the Pacers package of players like Malcolm Brogdon and Caris LeVert.

Will the Sixers get a motivated Ben Simmons now that he’s back? The early signs are, well, mixed, but Philadelphia thinks they have the winning stance regardless of whether he’s committed https://t.co/w4uoQeaJZC

Report: #76ers not interested in Pacer packages for Ben Simmons 👀

Names have floated (example: Brogdon/LeVert) in trade talks coming primarily from Indiana's end -- the 76ers never express much interest in a Pacers deal or even registering serious talks.
