How This Trade Impacts Philadelphia 76ers

When evaluating potential trade scenarios for the Philadelphia 76ers that feature Ben Simmons, the priority appears to be to find a dynamic star as the centerpiece of the deal.

If one of those talents were to be on the table, it’s likely the 76ers would already have accepted an offer and brought the actively worsening situation with Simmons to an end. Especially when factoring in how the start of training camp is approaching.

If the 76ers were to end up being content with just taking a quality trade for Simmons, the San Antonio Spurs have the capability of making a helpful offer.

Dejounte Murray is a solid point guard that has made strides as a playmaker to along with his on-ball defensive impact. As long as the 76ers were to be high on his potential, this is a trade that would make sense from their perspective.
