Ben Simmons Trade Proposal Gets Sixers 2 All-Rookies, Top ...

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons has been the subject of numerous trade rumors in the past few days. On Saturday, Bleacher Report NBA columnist Zach Buckley wrote an article titled "NBA Trade Ideas to Get 4 Lottery Teams Back to the playoffs". The two Eastern Conference teams Buckley focused on were the Indiana Pacers and the Chicago Bulls, who finished ninth and 11th in the conference respectively. With Indiana going 34-38 this season and making the Play-In Tournament, and Chicago having a potentially deadly duo in Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic next season, it’s not crazy to think that the Pacers and Bulls are just a piece away from postseason contention, especially in the typically-inferior conference. For the West, Buckley wrote about another play-in team from this spring – the already-loaded Golden State Warriors -, as well as the Sacramento Kings. The Kings are who Buckley sees as the perfect trade partner for the the Sixers and Ben Simmons.
