Could the Philadelphia 76ers pull off an NBA blockbuster trade that would send Ben Simmons to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Jaylen Brown? Those are the Sixers rumors Chase Senior is diving into on 76ers Now. Shams Charania of The Athletic reports that the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia Sixers have had conversations about a Ben Simmons trade for Jaylen Brown. Both Simmons and Brown were selected in the 2016 NBA Draft and both are two of the best defensive players in the NBA. While Brown has grown tremendously as an offensive player who can score, Simmons is more of an all-around player who has had his troubles with shooting the basketball.
Why would the Boston Celtics trade Jaylen Brown? There are growing concerns about his fit alongside Jayson Tatum as the Celtics are off to a poor start in the 2021-22 NBA season, whereas as the Philadelphia 76ers without Ben Simmons and led by Joel Embiid, The Sixers are #1 in the Eastern Conference Standings.
