Siakam is injured, and won't be ready for the start of the season. I'd be very surprised if he was traded.
If he's available and Simmons isn't, we'd be fools to pass up the opportunity to turn CJ and future draft assets into him with his injury. So right now we can guarantee having him playing in December and after that.
https://theathletic.com/2667978/202.../?article_source=search&search_query=mccollum Seems like Quick mentions a CJ for Marcus Smart swap, with additional pieces needed obviously. CJ, Tatum and Brown. Makes sense for the Celtics. Not sure wtf they can offer us that moves the needle though. Hard pass on Marcus Smart.
Dame/Ant Powell/Thybulle Roco/Nas Simmons Collins/Harrell We would be defensive monsters, Collins would need to step up.
https://bleacherreport.com/articles...s-to-get-4-lottery-teams-back-to-the-playoffs Written from a Pacers point of view...not the worst trade proposal I've seen. A lot depends on how Warren comes back from injury. His 2 years prior, he shot over 40% from '3' averaging over 18 ppg. Brogdon is a bigger, more defense oriented guard who can still fill up a stat line. Would like Turner to somehow be swapped in there.
Warriors said to be interested in Simmons, Wiggins and the 7/14 picks are the main assets they would like to use. Does 7/Wiggins get it done? Curry Klay Simmons Dray Wiseman Seems pretty unbalanced
Why would Philly want that though? It doesn’t solve any of their problems. Simmons seems to me like a horrible fit on GS. I also don’t understand why Philly would want young guys when their window is now.
The warriors have nothing to help PHI win now. It would have to be a 3 team trade I’d think. A Philly writer said Wiseman / 7 / Wiggins or something like that to WASH for Beal, Beal routed to Philly and Simmons to GSW.
I think we're going to make another run at Draymond. He's tight with Chauncey (called him his son from their relationship in Michigan) and Dame, and the Warriors are eyeing Simmons. I feel like CJ and a first might be able to get it done in a 3 way with Philly and GS (if Draymond, CJ, and Simmons all want it, which I think each might). Lillard/Simons Powell/ Roco/ Draymond/Little Nurk/Collins looks good to me.
