The Atlanta Hawks and the Sacramento Kings are two teams often mentioned in NBA trade rumors on Ben Simmons, the embattled Philadelphia 76ers guard-forward. However, both the Hawks and the Kings are also aware that the Sixers are willing to wait out on a Ben Simmons trade, with the allure of a potential James Harden deal with the Brooklyn Nets in the offseason.

With that, Atlanta and Sacramento are also joining the Jerami Grant sweepstakes, according to Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report.

As the Sixers continue to hold firm in their lofty asking price, with that Harden-sized elephant always in the room, both Atlanta and Sacramento have emerged as strong suitors for Jerami Grant, sources told B/R. The Hawks and Kings join a long list of teams that includes the Lakers, Trail Blazers, Knicks, Jazz and Timberwolves among others. The Bulls have continued exploring avenues to land Grant without sacrificing prized swingman Patrick Williams, sources said.

There seems to be no established package yet that either Atlanta or Sacramento has put up in an effort to extricate Grant from the Detroit Pistons, based on current NBA trade rumors. But for the Hawks, it's possible that John Collins could be one that Atlanta will be willing to let go in exchange for Grant. For the Kings, it could be Marvin Bagley III, who could be an asset Sacramento would be very much willing to offload in such a deal.

While there's been no direct indication on particular trade frameworks for Atlanta's pursuit of Grant, the Hawks have grown more active in searching for a new home for John Collins, sources said, and Collins' salary works in a direct swap for Grant. The Kings are said to have removed De'Aaron Fox and Tyrese Haliburton from any ongoing trade conversations, though Marvin Bagley III has consistently drawn interest from Detroit.
