Bryan Toporek (@BToporek) joined the podcast to discuss the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to Ben Simmons trade this offseason. This included potential shoot for the stars type trades, Ben's fit issues for rebuilding and contending teams, and why a third team will likely have to be involved to make a trade work. We ranked potential destinations by tiers and discussed how a Ben trade could effect the Sixers others plans moving forward. Enjoy!
