Last October, when Daryl Morey signed with the Philadelphia 76ers, NBA fans were flooding Twitter with trade ideas to help the Sixers, and there were a bunch of Ben Simmons deals in there.
Now? That could be a lot more real, with the franchise talking Simmons trades this offseason, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
There’s already been a report of one rejected proposal from the Indiana Pacers, but there are other teams who could deal for the point forward who struggled in the postseason.
So, as usual, we’ve rounded up some trade ideas from NBA fans on Twitter. Here they are:
1
Ben to the T-Wolves ... and Dame to Philly?
This one breaks Twitter for sure:

However: if the Blazers are really trading Damian Lillard, this isn’t the best of returns in my opinion.

A mega three-way trade
This made me cackle — Damian Lillard to the Warriors? Oh my goodness.

Sacramento Simmons!
Doesn’t seem like the return the Sixers want.

Simmons for Bradley Beal
I think the Sixers say yes to this … but Anthony Edwards gets traded? Nooooooo.

Simmons to Minnesota
I think the Sixers would love to get Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. This is also hilarious because the Thunder get a bajillion more picks.

Ben to the Bulls
Zach LaVine? Sure!
Here is the trade. I have sources telling me most GMs just use Twitter trade machine photos to make their decisions so we need to just flood timelines with this and hope for the best. pic.twitter.com/oZNiLDQLYT

Simmons to the Kings again
Getting De’Aaron Fox would be a huge win.
