NBA Trade Rumors: Atlanta Hawks a possible suitor in trading for Ben Simmons?

NBA Trade Rumors: Atlanta Hawks a possible suitor in trading for Ben Simmons?

Ben Simmons remains a “member” of the Philadelphia 76ers. Although he has yet to play in a single game for them this season.

Some have wondered when the 76ers would trade Simmons, and it has yet to happen. Will it? It remains to be seen, but another team might be interested in Simmons services; the Atlanta Hawks.

At this point, it’s almost a “we will believe it when we see it” type scenario, as Simmons has been rumored to be on the block going back to the NBA Draft, but was never dealt.

The 76ers meanwhile, are 21-16 and the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference.
