Should the Bulls Trade for Ben Simmons? (alien.top)

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.
