The Ben Simmons trade rumors are heating up, and it seems more and more likely that a trade will occur before the regular season. No team has been more forcefully tied to Simmons than Toronto. After a disappointing season, the Raptors are looking at a future beyond Kyle Lowry. Simmons could, in theory, be the guy to lead the next generation.
According to Matt Moore of Action Network, the Raptors and Sixers have held conversations about Simmons. While there is no trade imminent, and other teams no doubt have interest in Simmons, the Raptors appear to be the team to watch.
