Philadelphia 76ers Receive: G Bradley Beal
Washington Wizards Receive: G/F Ben Simmons, G Tyrese Maxey, PHI 2022 First-Round Pick (Unprotected), PHI 2023 First-Round Pick (Swap, More Favorable to WAS), PHI 2023 Second-Round Pick, PHI 2027 First-Round Pick (Unprotected)
This would be a huge trade that could improve the ceiling of both the Philadelphia 76ers and Washington Wizards. Both teams come away feeling that they are improved by this trade.
The 76ers end the Ben Simmons saga, trading him as the centerpiece of the package heading to Washington. He is joined by Tyrese Maxey, giving Washington another young guard that they can develop for their future.
Heading to Washington along with them is a boatload of draft picks.
The Wizards would replenish their draft capital in this deal, acquiring two first-round picks that are unprotected along with a pick swap and a second-round pick. They would have some future bargaining power with all those draft picks.
