Not sure I'd give them the Zman or Simons, they are keepers for the road ahead. I think we'd have other options wit EC's and vets to get something done. BG & KL are two injury prone 4's that are probably pass their primes.
Neil knows the championship is possible, and Dame is in his Prime, the time to go absolutely in win now is now. And he has shown that he's willing to trade "his guys", i expect a move at the Deadline, the question is will it be a big move or minor move ?
Griffin is an All Star talent. You get a chance at him if he is healthy I’d probably take it. Simons ain’t that good and Zach can’t compare to Griffin.
Simons is totally unproven but even if he does pop, we have CJ and Dame locked up as starters for years. Zach on the other hand is really starting to prove himself defensively and so he will never be what Griffin was offensively, Zach will be a significant key to the 1-3 year championship window defensively. so, for me I’d put Simons up for a griffin trade along with many others but CJ, Nurk, Dame and Zach would be off the table. Hood and Simons would be the next tier, tradable, but really need the trade to be special. mid hate to lose Baze, Mario, G-Trent, Little but obviously have to give us so m e stuff.
