Where does Ben Simmons go next?

Luka would still be the PG like RogerGodahell just mentioned but Ben can play point forward at times.

this is the thing - simmons is not good at creating shots either... even after his 3rd playoffs collapse in a row it's not evident? Get him in transition and he's great, but he's a major kink in the offense in the half court.

Watch some of the better analysts talking about him today... he's been exposed repeatedly and it will take some special lineup tinkering for another GM to feel comfortable enough to pay him what he's owed on his contract.

I don't think it'll be Cleve unless they totally overhaul their roster... Okoro, Jallen, and Ben would be the worst spacing in the league for a starting unit...

It can't be Utah either. Won't work with Gobert. O'Neale rarely shoots but when he does he's faily efficient from deep.

It has to be with a non-traditional 5 who wants to spot up from 3 often and can let Ben occupy the post/block.

Dallas makes the most sense... especially if they can sign another shooter on the wing for Luka and if they can get rid of KP so they can slot in Beenjammin as the 4/5.
