    I didnt hear woj on ESPN, personally.

    Obviously any team can be interested in whomever they want, it takes 2. But, I havent posted in a while, so figured I'd post it for discussion. As if we havent discussed CJ trades enough.

    I dont know if philly has anything outside of embiid that would interest me. Simmons is trash and cant shot, that would make it a lot more difficult for dame in the Playoffs

    Horford doesn't really interest me. He's old and that's a stupid band aid.

    I want Simmons and I would be willing to give up more to get him.

    Dame will be 30 next season. We can’t waste another year on the failed Dame/CJ combo. CJ just makes way too much money for what he does, which has continually hampered the franchise’s ability to build a quality roster around Dame. We need to get what we can for CJ before his value tanks, and start Simons immediately to prepare to make a run next year. A Dame-Simons-Simmons-Love-Nurk lineup sounds pretty good to me.

    In this scenario how in the world is it for Horford with Hassan and then Nurkic coming back. Last thing they need.

    I'd trade him for Harris. I might trade for horrors if he didn't have 3 years left on his contract.

    Have you guys looked at his contract?

    It's FUGLY. He's making 32 million this year for 17 PER.

    I love the thought of nurk and Horford's passing on the floor. The trade as proposed is bad for us. I wouldnt mind grabbing Richardson in the deal as well. But then for 2 teams with eyes on competing, it starts to get a little big.

    Also, in adding Horford, and nurk coming back, could be leading to a potential whiteside deal?

    If we could move Whiteside for a wing, that would be one thing, but I just don't know.... Horford is 33. I don't think it's a great deal.

    The Blazers need wing help. Bigs are on the way next year. It's been how long since they have had a good wing forward?

    I would make that trade for Harris in a heartbeat. He’s a better defender than CJ, plays at a position of need, and will help to expedite Simons’ development. No brainer, IMO.

    Would love to get Horford and Harris if possible for Hassan and CJ.

    Tobias Harris and Josh Richardson for C.J. McCollum is the only type of deal that makes sense.

    They probably want to send us garbage\meh draft picks in return.

    Maybe Richardson and Matisse Thybulle... but that doesn't get us to uncharted territories either.

    33 y/o Horford?

    A below average prospect?

    Start with Simmons.

    Btw the tweet was based on a tweet from a troll account.

    He has since deleted the tweet.
