Atlanta Hawks Receive: G Ben Simmons
Philadelphia 76ers Receive: G/F Cam Reddish, SG Kevin Huerter, PF Danilo Gallinari
It needs to be noted that this deal is being proposed as a continuation of a separate deal. The Philadelphia 76ers made a separate trade with the Portland Trail Blazers in the Bleacher Report piece before doing this one with the Atlanta Hawks.
The 76ers traded Tobias Harris to the Trail Blazers in exchange for CJ McCollum. Following that trade, they flip Ben Simmons to the Hawks in the proposed trade above, essentially making this a three-team deal.
Coming to the City of Brotherly Love are Cam Reddish, Kevin Huerter and Danilo Gallinari. On its own, this package isn’t overly encouraging. But, when in conjunction with the other trade made, this package is a solid deal.
Reddish is someone the Hawks have been reportedly shopping this offseason with an eye on the future. Atlanta knows their core is going to get expensive and could look to make some changes. The No. 10 overall pick from the 2019 NBA Draft still has incredible upside.

Huerter is a big wing that will add another 3-point sniper to the 76ers’ ranks. He can do some ball-handling in addition to his shooting and provide some more perimeter defense as well.
Gallinari is an experienced veteran that can slide right into the power-forward spot vacated by Harris heading to Portland. He is one of the better floor spacing bigs in the NBA and is a perfect fit alongside Joel Embiid.
A lot is going into this deal for both teams. How do they both feel coming out of it? Let’s take a look at it, starting with the Atlanta Hawks.
