Toronto Raptors Receive: G/F Ben Simmons, F Paul Reed
Philadelphia 76ers Receive: F OG Anunoby, G Goran Dragic, 2022 First-Round Pick, 2023 First-Round Pick Swap
Ben Simmons would be the clear focus of this NBA trade scenario as he would find his way to the Toronto Raptors after months of drama with the Philadelphia 76ers.
Again, it will be interesting to see if the Philadelphia 76ers can get a deal done with the Toronto Raptors without giving up the likes of Pascal Siakam or Fred VanVleet being included.
OG Anunoby is an up-and-coming player who has star potential. He would lead the return going back to Philadelphia, along with Goran Dragic and some first-round draft capital.
The 76ers ultimately would have the personnel to slide Tobias Harris over to the three spot full-time with Anunoby having the strength to be a small ball four option. Philadelphia would be able to slot in Dragic as the temporary starting point guard, too.

Let’s take a closer look and see how this NBA trade scenario centered around Ben Simmons would impact both the Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors.
