I saw the rumor that Ben Simmons wants to be traded to the Warriors or the Mavericks if he goes west with the Mavericks being the team more likely to be able and willing to make that trade. I know this isn't the best Ben Simmons trade out there but I think it would make the 76ers better considering I don't think Ben will ever actually come back and play for them. What could make this trade better/more realistic without removing the Mavericks from the trade all together. OKC is in here just to make the money work, it would be a classic OKC move to take an expiring contract of a player a team doesn't want anymore to help make something else work if they can get a pick out of it. Also the two open roster spots could be used to sign Chriss since he's played well for Dallas and maybe is Dragic gets bought out but who knows with that situation.

Mavs new lineup: Starters: PG Luka, SG Bullock, SF Finney-Smith, PF Simmons, C Porzingis Bench: PG Ntilikina, SG Brown, SF Green, PF Kleber, C Chriss Reserve: Burke, Powell, Brown, Boban

76ers new lineup: Starters: PG Brunson, Maxey, SF Thybulle, PF Harris, C Embild Bench: PG Curry, Hardaway Jr, SF Green, PF Niang, C Drummond Reserve: Milton, Korkmaz, Joe, Bassey, Reed
