3. Philadelphia 76ers
At this point, it is a matter of when, not if, the Philadelphia 76ers are going to move on from Ben Simmons. That is a relationship that seems beyond repair and the organization cannot afford to bring him into training camp with the team.
The 76ers are motivated to move Simmons, but the trade offers they have proposed would say otherwise. Asking the Golden State Warriors for Andrew Wiggins, James Wiseman, both lottery picks and two future first-round picks is laughable.
Requesting a young player, four first round draft picks and three pick swaps from the San Antonio Spurs is outrageous. Kyle Lowry, Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby and the No. 4 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft from the Toronto Raptors is preposterous.
That price will have to come down, but the 76ers do want to land an All-Star caliber player in return. De’Aaron Fox would fit that bill should the Sacramento Kings change their stance on trading him.

A swap involving Fox and Simmons would be a major blockbuster, shaking up both rosters in the process. The 76ers is certainly a team to watch for, especially if they cannot find another suitor for Simmons soon.
