Let’s play “What if?” What if Kyrie Irving — who has asked to be traded — gets his wish and is sent to a new team in exchange for a package of draft picks and veterans on expiring contracts? To me, that would signal that the Nets have decided to start over. Which means the next move would likely be to trade superstar Kevin Durant, currently injured, for another package of picks and assets to jump-start the rebuild. In our game of “What If,” we don’t know who exactly the Nets would be bringing back in one or multiple trades, but while we wait and see how the Nets front office will play their hand, there’s young talent already on the team worth taking a closer look at. Ben Simmons has never fully recovered the on-court prowess he used to display prior to his falling out with the 76ers almost two years ago. He sat out all of last season, first for mental health reasons and later reportedly for back issues. The back issues have continued to bother him through this season, but he also clearly hadn’t regained the confidence to try to score. His 5.9 FGA would constitute a dramatic career low, about half of his career average. But… if Kyrie and Durant were gone and the Nets therefore had zero expectations, in a rebuild, might he start to find his groove again? In the last 40 regular season games he played for the 76ers in 2021, Simmons averaged 14.9 PPG on 10.4 FGA, 6.7 RPG, 6.5 APG, 1.6 SPG and 0.5 BPG. He had one game, with Joel Embiid out, where he scored 42 points on 26 field goal attempts! That Simmons hasn’t been seen in years, but in this world of “What If,” it’s possible he could make an appearance.
