    Orlando Magic Buy Low on Ben Simmons
     

    Orlando Magic Receive: PG Ben Simmons

    Brooklyn Nets Receive: F/C Mo Bamba, SF Terrence Ross, SG Gary Harris

    On the long list of the Nets' problems is the play of Simmons, who's struggled in a return from back surgery. The 26-year-old is averaging just 6.2 points per game on the worst shooting of his career (44.1 percent). He's attempted just one three-pointer on the season and has still shown no interest in expanding his game.

    "Ben Simmons has been a source of frustration for Kevin Durant, for others on the Nets so far, because he's been unable to stay on the floor with a knee injury, but prior to that, he has shown that he's a long way away from being back to an impactful player," ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski said on NBA Today.

    The best thing for Simmons' career would be getting out of the circus in Brooklyn and moving to a young, rebuilding team in a small market where he can focus on basketball and not be in the center of a media storm every single night.

    Because of this, the Orlando Magic would be a perfect fit.

    Orlando loves its tall, versatile lineups, ones the 6'10" Simmons can plug into immediately. There would be enough scoring options around him in players like Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, Wendell Carter Jr. and Cole Anthony so that Simmons could focus on playmaking, rebounding and defense.

    For Brooklyn, getting back a trio of rotation players would mean a deeper, more talented roster overall.

    Bamba would give the frontcourt another shot-blocking presence, plus the ability to step out and knock down threes. Ross has long represented instant offense off the bench, and Harris will be a valuable three-and-D wing when he returns from arthroscopic knee surgery.

    Note: Bamba is not eligible to be traded until Dec. 15.

    So trade some of our 3 best 3-point shooters for a non shooting guard to help our team which is statistically one of the worst 3-point teams in the league? PASS

    If we like Sharpe, my answer is, “Absolutely.” Suggs proved very little this year, and we need to go BPA, regardless of position. (And this is coming from a guy who loved Suggs coming out). We have a long way to go in our rebuild… especially on offense.

    I 100% agree with this. I would take Sharpe easily with our pick. I just worry that they might think we are guard heavy at the moment. I hope I’m wrong

    Cole had 6 assists total in 3 games, averaging 2 per game.  It’s not that his shot wasn’t falling, it’s that he wasn’t making his teammates better by the way he was playing.  He’s a point guard and is supposed to help get other people good looks, not just heave up difficult shots.  

    Agree, which he didn’t do that well either
