The Toronto Raptors might be in the market for a new starting point guard considering the fact that Kyle Lowry might be ready to leave Canada, while the rival Philadelphia 76ers could trade in their former No. 1 pick in Ben Simmons as part of their quest to retool and compete for a title.

After a disastrous playoff series in which his team was upset by Trae Young and the Hawks, Simmons showed that his lack of a perimeter game can hurt his team in the postseason, which has prompted Daryl Morey and Elton Brand to consider trading him.
