PHI wouldn’t deal Ben to NYY. Most likely, he’s headed to SAC or POR or something.
Sports writers are making up rumors of a 3 or 4 team trade, before the start of the regular season having .. Ben, Beal, and Damian Lillard part of the trade.
The Wizards traded Westbrook to soon .. building a team with Ben & Beal would've been the start of a Wizards playoff team.
However, Philly having Westbrook & Embiid would've been chopping-down a lot of teams in the East during the regular season games.
The Knicks made their best trade in a long time last season trading for D.Rose leadership, and did well in hiring a head-coach, and signing a FA Noel in the offseason.
However, the Knicks blew on getting team-priorities from the draft two offseason in a row .. Tyrese Haliburton last offseason when the Team-Priority were combo-guards out the draft (Quickley was a steal combo-guard we really needed), and this offseason draft we blew again not getting a team-priority player at the SF position Jalen Johnson with the 19th pick.
Now the Knicks have to make a trade to fore fill the WEAK SF position in the upcoming season (Evans Fournier is a big scoring-guard, weak defender).
The best step for the Knicks are going after Ben Simmons and making him the teams point-forward .. Trading Kemba & Barrett & draft picks !!!
