Ben Simmons finally got his wish. He had requested a trade at the start of the season and after months of speculation, it finally happened.

Ben is one of the fastest players in the league and he is also one of the most athletic. Furthermore, he is also one of the best defenders in the league.
The Nets will hope that they will get this version of Ben Simmons as, with KD next to this side, he has the opportunity to learn from one of the greatest scorers of all time.
