With the trade deadline approaching, how the 76ers can push for a trade involving Ben Simmons has become a hot topic of discussion among fans, but considering the current situation of the 76ers, it is still unknown whether they can complete this matter before the trade deadline. Still, the Rockets appear to be one of Ben Simmons' potential landing sites.
There has been a lot of rumors about the Rockets and the 76ers in recent times, and for the Rockets in the rebuilding phase, getting Ben Simmons and partnering With Jaylen Green seems like a good choice, but the question is how should the Rockets push for the deal? US media Greg Patuto gave the following trading proposals:
Rockets get: Ben Simmons, Tobias Harris, Paul Reid, Charles Bessie
76ers get: John Wall, Eric Gordon, Jeshaw Tate, Josh Christopher, 2022 first-round picks, 2023 first-round picks (from the Bucks), 2024 first-round picks (from the Nets)
The biggest annoyance for the Rockets before the trade deadline is certainly John Wall, whose management wants to get out of his contract, but it's certainly not an easy task. In the deal with the 76ers, the Rockets got rid of Wall on the premise of absorbing Harris's contract. However, the Rockets can also get a young All-Star like Ben Simmons in this deal.
As for the 76ers, they do need to absorb Wall's contract, but wall and Embiid are still very much awaited partners, in addition to the 76ers can also get Tough players such as Gordon, Tate and Christopher, plus multiple future first-round draft picks, which is still a very good plan for the 76ers.
Of course, the biggest obstacle to the deal is whether the Rockets, who are in the reconstruction stage, are willing to sacrifice 3 future draft picks to promote such a deal.
