Would this trade make sense for the Philadelphia 76ers?

It’s a strange situation the Philadelphia 76ers currently face with Ben Simmons given they are a contending team sending away one of their max players.

When looking at the deal, Simmons is the centerpiece, but his shortcomings in the 76ers’ playoff run have made the arrangement an awkward one. It could be challenging for the two sides can reunite after what happened in the postseason.

Simmons played a significant role in the 76ers’ disappointing finish to the season once again as a team looking to win a championship and made the necessary moves at the beginning of the season. Daryl Morey can continue to be aggressive by getting a significant return for Simmons.

If Dillon Brooks is leading the way, he is a starting-caliber guard that can produce on both ends of the floor. This deal will continue to reach all the roster around Embiid, who recently signed a contract extension.

There would still be a need for the 76ers to find a point guard that can be a dynamic shot creator, but at the very least, this NBA trade scenario would add some key pieces on the perimeter. It would pave the way for Tyrese Maxey to solidify himself in a significant way as he already has begun doing.
