Houston Rockets Receive: Ben Simmons, Shake Milton

Philadelphia 76ers Receive: John Wall, Kevin Porter Jr., 2022 First-Round Pick, 2023 First-Round Pick Swap, 2027 First-Round Pick (via BKN)

Ben Simmons would have to be the centerpiece of this trade going back to the Houston Rockets — putting an end to an ongoing back-and-forth between an NBA All-Star at the start of a four-year deal and the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Rockets are a rebuilding squad and could be looking for that long-term piece with All-Star level talent next to Jalen Green. From a long-term perspective, the two-man game could feature Simmons as a ball screener and orchestrating DHOs.

Shake Milton would also be sent to the Rockets as a bit of a depth piece. The 76ers would have little issue parting with him given there wouldn’t be a need at guard after this deal.

In return, the Sixers would get John Wall. He spent last season in Houston after being traded from the Washington Wizards. There are clear concerns with Wall’s injury history and lack of jump shooting efficiency all in addition to him being not worth a supermax. However, there’s more to this deal to consider.
