Does this trade make sense for the Philadelphia 76ers?
The only trade that really makes sense for the 76ers at this time in regards to trading Ben Simmons is with the Sacramento Kings. No other team in the league has made their entire roster available like the Kings have and all three talents the 76ers would be getting bring value.
However, it is worth monitoring the Atlanta Hawks and what they plan to offer the Sixers for Ben Simmons because after trading Cam Reddish to the Knicks, they seem to be gearing up to make a significant move of their own.
Ben Simmons has a lot of fans in the Hawks’ front-office right now, so the Kings could definitely have competition on their hands at the trade deadline.
Daryl Morey and the 76ers though have been very adamant about the fact that they want an All-Star player in return for Ben Simmons and they have not received said value to this point.
