The Toronto Raptors, should they be looking to make a super-aggressive move in order to get back to the postseason, might need to call up a hated rival and potential Kyle Lowry destination in the Philadelphia 76ers, as they appear to be listening to offers on All-Star point guard and former No. 1 overall pick Ben Simmons after a disappointing playoff series.

Simmons has made three straight All-Star games, but his inability to develop any sort of jump shot and his penchant for disappearing late in games contributed to Philly’s early playoff exit, and there are some rumblings that they swap him out in favor of a more traditional point guard.
