Ben Simmons playstyle is almost exactly the same as Lonzo Ball’s playstyle minus the shooting. The Bulls played very well a couple years ago with Lonzo Ball playing as a pass-first point guard. If the Bulls really want to stick with their current team and not tank, I think they should trade for Ben Simmons as long as it involves expiring contracts or players the Bulls don’t really want to commit long term with.

Lonzo’s shooting is really fucking important though, especially for a team that doesn’t have great shooting already.
And even if they shot the same, their playstyles are not that similar. Ben’s value and only elite skill is being able to defend 4 (and at times 5) positions. They both can run an offense but that applies to like 50 other guys in the NBA as well. And the way they run an offense isn’t identical either. This entire post was off-base. They aren’t very similar.
Lonzo is known for not driving which is all Ben can even do.
No. No. Noooooooo
Yes
Is it 2018 Ben Simmons?
What exactly would you even want for him? The Bulls don’t have any good assets on the Bridges/Thomas timeline. Would it just be a salary dump?
lol right. whatever to get this bum off the team. he can pass up wide open dunks beneath basket in chicago.
No team should trade for Simmons. He is pretty clearly at this point the worst contract in the league.
No team should trade for Ben unless its a salary dump. The dude gets pulled in the 4th quarter and is on a giant contract.
Yeah. Let’s trade for him and Tobias Harris. We’ll be world beaters.
Harden for Simmons sounds like a decent trade.
Simmons and a pick for Derozen?
No
Wait until he starts hitting threes at training camp 👀
Hell no.
Underselling a big part of Lonzo with the minus shooting part. That’s a pretty big deal.
As a bucks fan who endured decades of 8-12 seed finishes…yall need to unload assets (while they still have value) and start building a war chest of draft picks like OKC
It’s definitely a good fit if Lonzo won’t be coming back. It’s very nice to have someone that can help Vuc out with rebounding as well as get Lavine & DeMar open.
Ben had a good pre-season, last game wasn’t bad either. I’m hoping he gets a bit more warm. I wish his team wasn’t decent so he could actually try to score
Is Lonzo’s injury like, career ending-ish type? Then why would they trade for another guy to shrink the spacing even more with DeRozan as your 1st option?
