Ben Simmons trade speculation with Philadelphia 76ers includes Phoenix Suns
Rumors and speculation have swirled around the Philadelphia 76ers since they were swept out of the NBA playoffs over the weekend.
The team fired coach Brett Brown on Monday.
Could t trade some of their key pieces in the NBA offseason?
The Phoenix Suns are among the teams that have come up in early potential trade chatter, mainly involving possibly trading for point guard Ben Simmons.
Simmons, 24, averaged 16.4 points, eight assists and 7.8 rebounds for the 76ers last season, shooting 58% from the field.
Could Phoenix afford him? Simmons signed a five-year, $170-million dollar deal a year ago, meaning trading for him would be a very big investment for the organization.
