As everyone witnessed the opening of the new NBA season, the trade rumors involving some of the popular players in the NBA league continues. According to recent NBA buzz, Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers and Phoenix Suns are in a three-way trade talk involving some of their key players including Nerlens Noel, Brandon Ingram and Ben Simmons.
According to Inquisitr, Los Angeles Lakers is willing to let go of their rookie Brandon Ingram to Philadelphia 76ers for a potential star player. Reports are rife that Sixers is trading their big man Nerlens Noel.
A number of teams in the NBA league are reportedly showing interest in acquiring Nerlens Noel, including the contender teams Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers. At the time, the reports note that LA Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers and Phoenix Suns are negotiating on a deal that centers around Nerlens Noel and Sun's shooting guard Brandon Knight.
According to the NBA trade rumors, the three-team trade between Lakers, Sixers and Suns would be promising to all. If this NBA trade will be pushed, LA Lakers will acquire Sixer's forward Ben Simmons.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia 76ers will receive small forward Brandon Ingram, power forward Dragan Bender and Sun's point guard and shooting guard Brandon Knight. As for the Phoenix Suns, they will acquire Philly's big man Nerlens Noel, shooting guard Lou Williams and Lakers' first-round pick in 2017.
However, the one challenge of this trade is Ben Simmons' injury. According to Chat Sports, Philly's rookie forward Ben Simmons suffered a broken foot on the last day of the training camp. Ben Simmons is expected to miss the first three months of NBA 2016-17 season.
There is no timetable as to when Ben Simmons will be able to play in the NBA league. However, the young player plans to return this season. Pushing this trade with injured Ben Simmons might not be appealing to Los Angeles Lakers.
