Philadelphia 76ers Receive: Bradley Beal
Washington Wizards Receive: Ben Simmons, Matisse Thybulle, Tyrese Maxey, 2022 first-round pick (most favorable), 2024 first-round pick (most favorable)
If the Wizards are willing to do business with the 76ers for Beal, it’s almost inevitable that Ben Simmons needs to be at the forefront of the deal.
Philadelphia has remained mum on Simmons’ future with the franchise, but Daryl Morey understands that Joel Embiid needs more spacing around him, which is something that Simmons doesn’t bring.
Getting Beal would give the 76ers a primary ball-handler that can score at will against opposing defenses. Besides Simmons, Tyrese Maxey and Matisse Thybulle are intriguing young players that could interest the Wizards in a possible trade.
Maxey would become a developmental guard for Washington and Thybulle is one of the league’s best wing defenders at 24 years old. As for Simmons, the Wizards would acquire the former first-round pick in hopes to unlock his offensive game, mainly in the shooting department.
