1. Minnesota Timberwolves
Last but certainly not least interested in making a trade for Simmons are the Minnesota Timberwolves. Minnesota has been one of the teams connected to Simmons trade rumors this season.
On paper, Simmons is the missing piece of the Timberwolves. He can play make for Minnesota offense while anchoring their defense as well. The question is can the T-Wolves send enough to the Sixers in a two-team deal to make it worth it for the 76ers?
The Sixers hit the jackpot in this potential trade in terms of getting draft picks. Is this the ideal return for a team trying to contend? Of course not, but this does add a good scoring guard in D’Angelo Russell and a nice young defender in Jaden McDaniels.
However, the main takeaway from this hypothetical deal is that the Sixers get four first round picks and two future first round pick swaps. All those picks can help the 76ers get another superstar whenever one becomes available.
Which one of these potential trades was your favorite? Which one is the most likely? Comment below what you think is the best deal for the Philadelphia 76ers to make for Ben Simmons prior to the trade deadline.
