NBA Trade Rumors: 5 trades that would change the landscape of the league
Ben Simmons, Philadelphia 76ers
Even though it is becoming a cliche to mention Ben Simmons in trade discussions, it is still important to remember his impact as a player. Simmons is 25 years old and has career per-game averages of 15.9 points, 7.7 assists, and 8.1 rebounds per game.
Simmons is an amazing defender and has consistently been in the discussions for the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year. Any team trading for Simmons could risk him coming in and being completely out of shape and having no impact at all.
Some hopeful team might see Ben Simmons and look past his inabilities and focus on what he can do to help them win a ring. Despite the recent narratives, Simmons is still a really good player and may have not even reached his potential yet.
