Golden State Warriors Receive: G/F Ben Simmons, G Seth Curry, PHI 2023 2nd Round Pick
Philadelphia 76ers Receive: F Andrew Wiggins, C James Wiseman, F Jonathan Kuminga, GSW 2022 1st Round Pick (Unprotected), GSW 2023 1st Round Pick (Swap, More Favorable to PHI), GSW 2026 1st Round Pick (Top-8 Protected)
Again, the Philadelphia 76ers would definitely like to add another high-level All-Star to their roster in a Ben Simmons-oriented trade, but if they cannot find another All-Star available, could they come down on their price to the Warriors’ level?
Andrew Wiggins is a really solid two-way player to add on the wing, and both James Wiseman and Jonathan Kuminga are two young, valuable assets Philly could add.
Seeing as they have Joel Embiid, they may not have a need for a guy like Wiseman, but his value is still definitely too much for the 76ers to say they do not want, especially if they are trading away Ben Simmons.
As for Andrew Wiggins, he is coming off a decent year in which he averaged 18.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 0.9 steals, and shot 38% from three-point range.

Nothing about his numbers will “blow you away,” and he is not a multi-talented threat like Ben Simmons is in terms of scoring, rebounding, and passing. Still, Wiggins is a guy who can contribute immediately and is a really solid third option in any team’s offense.
The only thing is that the 76ers may not have a true No. 2 option right now, with Tobias Harris sometimes being inconsistent.
Suppose the 76ers look to pursue a trade with the Warriors. In that case, it is possible to believe they would look to get another team involved since Wiseman and Kuminga do not present any immediate value to the 76ers in their chances of winning a title. Still, overall, this is a lot of value the Warriors could offer up.

It is hard to say whether or not the 2026 first-round pick would wind up conveying over to the Philadelphia 76ers. Still, immediately, they would get three first-round valued players, an unprotected first-round pick in 2022, and the rights to swap picks in 2023.
Other than getting Damian Lillard or Bradley Beal, this may very well be the best deal the 76ers could see for Ben Simmons, which is why it is definitely worth considering.
