There’s no denying that almost every team in the league, including the Golden State Warriors, wants Ben Simmons. Even the Philadelphia 76ers are likely hoping they can still mend the two parties’ broken relationship.
It felt like everything initially started to take a downward spiral when Simmons was hesitant to shoot late in the postseason games against Atlanta. However, the fanbases treatment of star Joel Embiid may have also played a small part.
The Golden State Warriors could use a third superstar, and Ben Simmons is on the trading block. Should they look to pull off one of these three trades?
Either way, the Sixers are in a position where they have, on paper, one of the league’s best rosters. They’ve partially been so successful because of Simmons, who was a Defensive Player of the Year candidate last season.
A three-time All-Star at the young age of 25, the 6-foot-11 guard has become one of the league’s several unicorns, given his height and skill set. While his shooting could be an issue, his prowess as an attacker and distributor in transition helps the cause for a potential trade.
Simmons isn’t worth four first-round picks, James Wiseman and Andrew Wiggins though. That said, let’s dive into three trades that the Warriors should at least considering, hoping the Sixers would also have a conversation if these were on the table.
