NBA Trade Rumors: 6 realistic, fair trade packages for Ben Simmons. 

If there’s one thing that’s become clear over the last few days, it’s that there’s a very good chance that the Philadelphia 76ers and Ben Simmons are not in a good place. Barring something unforeseen, it will likely result in a divorce between the two sides.

The hope from Simmons is that it happens sooner rather than later. However, there’s no guarantee that will be the case. Especially when the Sixers are essentially calling his bluff by refusing to pay him partial of his salary that he was due recently.

The big question is whether or not that will push Simmons to report to camp. At least for the time being, Simmons seems ready to sit out the season, even with the possible financial ramifications that could come with it.

As the two sides continue to play a game of chicken, perhaps we can be a bit of a peacemaker. Here are six realistic and fair trade packages for Ben Simmons.
