76ers: If the Pacers actually offered Brogdon and a first for Ben, they were dumb to decline it. If they offered Brogdon and 13, even dumber to decline. Now, they lost a lot of leverage. Timberwolves aren't parting with Ant and KAT, not surpirising, but dont want to give Beasley, GSW is out and the Kings are as well. This is honestly very potentially the bt offer out there. Brogdn can replace what Simmons can do like 80 precent as well in the regular season, and 120 precent as well in the playoffs. They also got the cap flexibility with Lamb expiring, and get a throw-in second. They add the spacing around Embiid. It sucks for them to not get much more then Brogdon, however, this would get them into a better position and they should take this before they lose leverage.

PACERS: The Pacers are lacking D. Simmons gives that to them. Simmons gives them the lock-down defender that they are lacking, and the true point they don't have besides McConnell. They have the scoring in Sabonis, Levrert and Warren so they'd be good scoring wise with Simmons and then Duarte so they'd be good enough at that.
