No. 2 Ben Simmons trade package that the LA Clippers would have to beat:
Ben Simmons is also rumored to be interested in going to the Sacramento Kings along with our LA Clippers. The Kings have a deal that could give the 76ers a lot of upside.
With this deal, the 76ers not only get their first round pick next year, but they get the Kings’ first round pick from last year, and they even get a good shooter who can score in Buddy Hield.
Tyrese Haliburton had some impressive moments in his rookie year as a point guard, primarily, so he also helps the Sixers fill a positional need too.
This gives the 76ers two players who can help them win now, but who are also young and can help them play for the future with a first round pick that they would acquire through this deal. The Clips would have to unload many key pieces if they want to top this trade, and I don’t think they’d want to do that.
