Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley recently wrote a piece about “Bizzaro World” NBA trades and the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers were among the teams included in his list of game-changing trades.
In the piece, Buckley proposed a large-scale swap that included six players and a first round draft pick. The most notable names in the proposed deal were Jaylen Brown, Gordon Hayward and Ben Simmons.
The idea was to break up the Simmons/Joel Embiid duo, and in doing so, all but completely reshuffled the rotation of both teams.
