Ben Simmons named in trade talks as Brooklyn Nets look for way out of mess

While Ben Simmons and the Brooklyn Nets proceed to battle, the Australian’s title has reportedly come up in commerce discussions.

The 2-6 Nets are in a world of bother, with Steve Nash axed, the suspended Ime Udoka reportedly the subsequent man in line, and Kyrie Irving but to apologise for selling an anti-Semitic movie on Twitter.

On prime of that, Simmons has missed the Nets’ final two video games because of knee irritation, and earlier than that, regarded the worst we’ve ever seen him.

In six video games, Simmons has averaged 6.2 factors, 7.3 assists, and 6.5 rebounds a sport.

Now, with the season on the road and Brooklyn’s title window shrinking, a SNY report suggests the Nets can be aggressive in in search of upgrades to their roster.

“I’ll be the first to tell you, there’s certainly holes (in our roster). We’re not a finished product,” Nets basic supervisor Sean Marks stated this week. “We’re not playing up to our expectations, the way we should be.”

And based on SNY, the Nets have held ‘cursory talk’ with a Western Conference workforce a couple of deal that might land them some perimeter taking pictures.

“Ben Simmons’ name came up in the talks,” Ian Begley reported.

The discussions occurred earlier than Nash’s sacking, however the expectation is Brooklyn can be aggressive of their pursuit of taking pictures.

Whether that includes Simmons or not, stays to be seen. But the 26-year-old’s commerce worth will surely be at an all-time low.
