Chicago Bulls Receive: Ben Simmons

Philadelphia 76ers Receive: Zach LaVine, Patrick Williams, 2021 1st Round Pick

The Chicago Bulls have been far from a stranger to NBA trade rumors, whether it’s a deal centered around Zach LaVine or Lauri Markannen. To this point, nothing has happened but sending LaVine to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Ben Simmons could be beneficial.

The 76ers would get a nice return for Simmons. Along with LaVine, Philly would acquire Patrick Williams and a future first-round pick. Patrick Williams was drafted with the fourth overall pick in this year’s draft.

There has been a need for the Bulls to land a franchise player to build around since their recently drafted prospects haven’t taken the next step. There’s not many better options than Ben Simmons.

Let’s take a look and see how this deal centered around Ben Simmons and Zach LaVine would benefit both the Chicago Bulls and Philadelphia 76ers.
