NBA Trades: One Ben Simmons trade for every NBA team – Atlanta Hawks
After making it all the way to the Conference Finals a season ago (famously resulting in the moment that got the world to this point with Ben Simmons), the Atlanta Hawks find themselves at something of a turning point.
They have entered the season with sky-high expectations and to date, they are not quite meeting them (currently on the outside of the play-in). Some have thrown around the idea of a consolidation trade. There are plenty of players on the roster who deserve minutes, causing a roster log-jam.
Danilo Gallinari was brought in last season and contributed a solid amount, but with John Collins remaining on the roster, the fit is complicated. Gallinari is seeing the lowest number of minutes per game since his rookie season and a change of scenery would do him well.
Prior to this season, he had shot greater than 40 percent from distance, which would fit perfectly into the offensive game plan for the Sixers.
Cam Reddish has shown flashes of the talent that got him drafted so highly, but with so many wings on the roster, he struggles to find many opportunities.
Finally, Onyeka Okongwu is the kind of young player teams should be trying to steal away. He was a defensive stalwart as a rookie and would be a solid option off the bench.
