Orlando Magic Receive: G Ben Simmons
Philadelphia 76ers Receive: G Markelle Fultz, G Terrence Ross, C Mo Bamba, No. 5 pick and No. 33 pick
This would be an NBA trade scenario centered around Ben Simmons landing with the Orlando Magic. He would be the only player or pick being dealt to the Magic, but they would be sending out plenty in return to make the deal happen.
It’s clear that this trade will not be cheap for the Magic but they have assets they would be able to send back to the 76ers. Orlando does have two picks within the top 10 of the 2021 NBA Draft order but they would only be moving the No. 5 pick in this scenario.
Markelle Fultz would have a reunion with the 76ers here. He could not figure it out in Philadelphia but began to improve during his time with the Magic. He has made real strides in his development since being traded to the Magic and that could intrigue Philly.
Fultz suffered a torn ACL and this hindered his progress but is looking to return healthy and take that next step. Terrence Ross and Mo Bamba along with the No. 5 pick of the 2021 NBA Draft would also be involved.

Let’s take a closer look and see how this NBA trade scenario centered around Aaron Gordon would impact both the Orlando Magic and Philadelphia 76ers.
