Philadelphia 76ers
All eyes are on the Philadelphia 76ers as it remains to be seen what they end up doing with Ben Simmons.
Simmons has made it clear that he is done with the 76ers, but Philadelphia has yet to find a trade partner for the All-Star point-forward.
It seems inevitable that a trade involving Simmons is going to take place, so finding a point guard that can replace Simmons will be needed.
Malcolm Brogdon isn’t the athlete that Simmons is or an elite-level defender, but he does bring more shooting to the point guard position. Also, Brogdon is still a formidable defender, so they would still be getting a point guard that isn’t a liability on defense.

With the 76ers wanting more scoring and shooting at the point guard spot to pair with Joel Embiid — without sacrificing too much on defense — Brogdon seems like a perfect choice for Philadelphia.
