@tradeforsimmons Ben and Westbrook are similar players, why would they trade away a problem for another problem? Besides, Ben lacks confidence in shooting, and while Westbrook bricks a lot, he can still be a decent shooter. I don't think lakers will trade for Ben.
@tradeforsimmons Simmons would be a disaster for the lakers tbh, his playstyle doesn't fit the team, and the lakers don't need to spend more time to make a new team lineup and new rotation plans for Simmons. Russ is good enough for the lakers, no need to trade for Simmons.
