Ben Simmons and Seth Curry are reportedly on their way to the Brooklyn Nets, joining a team already armed with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.
Simmons, who is a top-tier defensive player in the NBA, is also one of the most intriguing playmakers in the league. As a facilitator, he gets to dish to Durant and Irving on a team coached by Steve Nash — who was an offensive genius during his playing career.
Although this is not exactly what the Nets envisioned when they traded for James Harden last year, Simmons is significantly younger. He is still just 25 years old and has plenty of years left in the tank to contribute at the highest level of play.
