Toronto Raptors Receive: G/F Ben Simmons

Philadelphia 76ers Receive: G Fred VanVleet, G/F Rodney Hood, C Aron Baynes, No. 4 pick, No. 46 pick, No. 47 pick, 2023 first-round pick

Ben Simmons would be the centerpiece going back to the Toronto Raptors. He would get the fresh start that he might need as a member of the Raptors. It will not be cheap given as there is still some value around Simmons, but it could be a deal that works out well for both sides.

There is a need for the Raptors to add more star-power in order to pull off a quick turnaround. Not having to move on from either Pascal Siakam or OG Anunoby would be a huge win for Toronto and keep them with enough talent to compete.

Fred VanVleet would have to be involved in the deal. He recently signed a four-year deal with Toronto and could be the major piece that serves as a key centerpiece to fill a need the 76ers must address.

Rodney Hood and Aron Baynes were also be involved in the deal. The 76ers will grab the fourth-overall pick in the upcoming draft along with three other picks with two being second-rounders in 2021. It may not come off as being the massive haul the team wanted

Let’s take a closer look and see how this NBA trade scenario centered around Ben Simmons would impact both the Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors.
