San Antonio Spurs Receive: F Ben Simmons
Philadelphia 76ers Receive: G Dejounte Murray, G Derrick White, F Devin Vassell and 2025 first-round pick
If the San Antonio Spurs consider making a trade for Ben Simmons, they are confident in their ability to work alongside the point-forward. In the event that Simmons can ever evolve his outside shot, he would immediately become one of the premier two-way players in the league.
As of this moment, that is wishful thinking as Simmons has shown no desire to shoot the ball from the perimeter in his career. But maybe a change of scenery to a winning organization like San Antonio would push him to mature as a player.
Dejounte Murray would be involved in the trade again, but Derrick White and Devin Vassell replace Walker and Johnson in the previous trade.
While Murray would become the starting point guard, White could give the 76ers another versatile guard in their back court. White has become a main fixture in San Antonio due to his contributions on both ends of the floor.

As for Vassell, he’s prepared to enter his second year in the NBA in 2021-22, making him a work-in-progess. He showed some promise and could be intriguing on the wing in ways the 76ers lost by trading away Mikal Bridges on draft night.
