Brooklyn Nets Receive: G Terry Rozier, F Kelly Oubre Jr.
Charlotte Hornets Receive: G/F Ben Simmons
At this point, putting a value on Ben Simmons is immensely complicated.
On the one hand, his floor vision is elite. His defense is even more so. He brings a lot to the table that benefits an NBA team.
On the other hand, he’s limited. His disdain for shooting threes is well-documented. That’s a significant issue for a lead ball-handler in 2022. All of which is beside his inconsistent availability.
The first package felt like it could undersell him. This one does the opposite. Rozier and Oubre combined may offer as much immediate impact as Simmons alone, and they’re both generally free to, you know, play the games.

If he were to find his way to the Charlotte Hornets, it would have to come after a great deal of negotiation. The Brooklyn Nets may insist on this package, and the Hornets may insist on the other one.
If the two sides were able to come to an arrangement, it could be great news for NBA fans. LaMelo Ball and Ben Simmons could potentially be an electriyfing duo.
