This Nets-Pacers Trade Sends Ben Simmons To Indiana

Ben Simmons, Indiana Pacers, Brooklyn Nets, NBA Trade Rumors
NBA Analysis Network

A lot is going on surrounding the Brooklyn Nets beyond the need to worry about Ben Simmons trade talks. However, if at some point it reaches that point, the trade value for the former NBA All-Star may be at an all-time low.

Simmons has yet to show that he’s the same elite all-around defender that he was prior to sitting out with the Philadelphia 76ers. His trade value has naturally been impacted.

Simmons is averaging just 6.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 7.3 assists while shooting 44.1 percent from the floor in six performances this season. He’s continued to be reluctant with finishing at the rim — likely due to a lack of desire to be sent to the free throw line.

While Simmons still has to prove that he’s back to prior form, perhaps a team could look to capitalize on his lowered trade value in order to execute a buy-low trade?
