The Sixers crashed out of the 2021 NBA Playoffs on Sunday. Philadelphia’s less-than-ideal exit has NBA pundits buzzing when considering what the future holds for former No. 1 pick Ben Simmons. Against the Hawks, Simmons’ lack of confidence on offense captured headlines.
If the Sixers look to make a significant change in the 2021 offseason, Simmons is a likely trade candidate. In regards to potential suitors, The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor explained that the Trail Blazers could partner with the Sixers to get a deal done.
O’Connor floated a potential deal that involved Simmons and CJ McCollum.
