Could Starting Ben Simmons Open Up Trade Opportunities for the Nets?

The Brooklyn Nets are now handing the starting point guard position over to Ben Simmons, which may give interest to teams on the trade market.

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons has now been moved into the starting lineup after Dennis Schroder was traded to the Golden State Warriors. In his first two starts since the trade, Simmons is averaging 11.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists, and a steal per game on 56.3% shooting from the field.

A question that arises is if Simmons does enough on the floor, will other teams gain interest amid NBA trade season? Many playoff contenders are in need of wing talent, specifically playmaking defenders, and Simmons fits that mold.
