San Antonio Spurs

Brooklyn Nets Receive: F Doug McDermott, G/F Josh Richardson 
San Antonio Spurs Receive: G/F Ben Simmons 

Of course, whether the San Antonio Spurs are rebuilding at all could be a point of contention. At 5-3, they look like a playoff team early into the 2022-23 season. 

Moreover, they may not be a perfect fit for Simmons, either. Starting big man Jakob Poeltl is an excellent defensive big, but he doesn’t space the floor. Making this work would require some creative coaching. 

The Spurs just so happen to have one of the best coaches in NBA history. If anyone can figure out how to maximize Simmons without a stretch big, it’s Gregg Popovich. 

Meanwhile, this is the only proposal in this piece that doesn’t have the Nets landing any draft capital. It’s also the one that has them landing the best win-now talent. McDermott and Richardson are both malleable role players who will complement Kevin Durant and (if he returns) Kyrie Irving.
