The Philadelphia 76ers are still shopping Ben Simmons, and It seems like we get a rumor or report almost everyday surrounding what will happen with the 24-year-old . For anyone who Is not up to date on the Ben Simmons trade rumors or reports, here is what you need to know.
Teams such as the Kings, Warriors, Timberwolves, and Blazers are all interested in trading for the 6-foot-10 point guard. But the question remains: who is most suited to trade for Ben Simmons?
Sixers’ potential Ben Simmons trade partner: Sacramento Kings
The Kings have been pretty high on trading for Ben Simmons. Multiple sources have suggested the idea of Buddy Hield, Marvin Bagley III and possibly the No. 9 pick in this year’s NBA Draft. Seems pretty good for both teams — the 76ers get a 3-point champion in Buddy Hield that can stretch the floor (although his defense can streaky at times). The 76ers can also get another big man in Marvin Bagley III who they can either keep and develop or they can use him as another trade piece to get someone else.
The Kings, on the other hand, get a defensive upgrade who will pair up nicely with De’Aaron Fox and Tyrese Haliburton. Ben Simmons could excel in Sacramento because of their organization being a smaller market with not as many eyes on him.
