Los Angeles Lakers Receive: Ben Simmons, Danny Green

Philadelphia 76ers Receive: Russell Westbrook, 2023 Second-Round Pick, 2025 Second-Round Pick

Wow, what a trade between these two teams. It would certainly accomplish the goal of getting rid of their main issue. This would be a big enough trade to shake up the entire landscape of the NBA.

There are some questions that each team would have to ask themselves before making this trade.

Quite simply, this is worth a shot for both teams. With the way they have played to begin the season, neither team is a legitimate contender.
