Philadelphia 76ers Receive: Bradley Beal, 2023 2nd Round Pick (via CHI), 2022 2nd Round Pick (via CHI, DET, or L.A)
Washington Wizards Receive: Ben Simmons
The Philadelphia 76ers would shake up their roster and fully commit to building a cohesive roster around Joel Embiid. It would start by finding Embiid a more formidable perimeter scoring star in Bradley Beal.
Ben Simmons provides substantial value on the basketball court but when playing alongside a dynamic center like Joel Embiid, there are limitations to what can be achieved. Bradley Beal’s all-around scoring impact would help reconfigure their half-court offense.
For the Wizards, they would create a backcourt of Ben Simmons and Russell Westbrook. While both players would probably be a horrible fit together, Simmons would be the complete focus long-term. There’s plenty of work to be done in Washington and this could be the first of many moves over the years.
Let’s take a look and see how this trade centered around Bradley Beal and Ben Simmons would benefit both the Philadelphia 76ers and Washington Wizards.
