Ben Simmons, Malcolm Brogdon - Credit: Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports
The Indiana Pacers recently find themselves on the rumor mill after reportedly pursuing Ben Simmons in a trade, offering to give up Malcolm Brogdon and a first-round pick in the process (no pun intended). As trade rumors are usually overblown, the smart fan needs to take everything with a grain of salt. However, one thing’s for sure: Indiana will not stand idle this offseason.
While Simmons has drawn a lot of flak recently due to his subpar playoff outings, most notably in their Conference Semifinals loss against heavy underdogs Atlanta, the 24-year-old still possesses tremendous upside as one of the league’s most unique talents.
