Rockets are in this trade because a) I think there are only a few teams in the nba where Ben could be special and I think the rockets are the top of that list and b) if the nets chose to blow it up they’d be stupid to do it without any they own picks.

Starting lineups + sixth men

Nets: Russ/KPJ/BI/Royce/Claxton/Gordon

(Might make a playin spot but I don’t know they probably need an off-season with that Russ money off their books.)

Pels: Cj/KD/Herb/Zion/Jonas/Dyson

(Definitely a playoff team. I’d put money on them at the very least being a conference finals team)

Lakers: Kyrie/Walker/Harris/Bron/AD/Johnson

(A definite playoff team but the west is stacked so I’m only gonna guarantee them a top 6 seed but with Bron, AD and Kyrie who knows what can happen after that)

Rockets: Simmons/Green/Tate/Bari/Sengun/Christopher

(This team lowkey might be pretty good. Ben Simmons is a perfect point guard fit alongside Green, Bari and Sengun. I wouldn’t be surprised if this team steals a playin spot away from my Kings)
