2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

Very popular to send out Brunson and/or THJ in trade scenarios.

Yep. And one of the side effects of Luka missing a few games is that Brunson has been able to show off a bit. His numbers in 9 games as a starter this season: 

20 points, 7 assists, and 6 rebounds in 34 mpg. That's like... (checks notes)... Ben Simmons with more scoring.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised at all if Brunson ends up in Philly in a Simmons deal. He'd immediately take over the PG role, he's a local Nova hero, and getting his Bird rights now is something that would have value to Philly in terms of timing.
