The Philadelphia 76ers have yet to make a decision on where they were going to send NBA All-Star Ben Simmons. The decision seems to be where and not if at this point.

Simmons cut off communication with the team and only arrived in Philadelphia to take his Covid test which was required by the league.

Simmons is interested in playing next season but it will not be in Philadelphia. This is something that will benefit both sides as they have a chance to get a fresh start. It is clear that the two sides do not want to move forward and this means the trade could be coming very soon.

The Sixers are looking for an improvement in the postseason as they were eliminated in the second round last year. This was a huge disappointment after finishing at the top of the Eastern Conference.

There are still many teams interested in a trade involving Simmons and the Houston Rockets are one that comes to mind immediately. Many rebuilding teams that aren’t often free agency destinations can look to make a deal for Simmons — a caliber of player who otherwise wouldn’t be attainable.

Houston finished with the worst record in the league last season and this landed them the second-overall pick in the draft. Jalen Green was the selection and is the new centerpiece of the team. If they want to make a splash, Simmons could be the perfect piece in the backcourt next to Green.

This is a chance for two sides to make moves that could impact the franchise right away. Let’s take a closer look and see how this trade could happen between Philadelphia and Houston at some point moving forward.
