    This is something which should not be ignored. VERY productive over the last two seasons with one poor playoff series.
    Also, a skill set that would fit SO well with the Blazers from a secondary decision maker and all-world defensive standpoint.

    Still would bring him here.

    Tied for sixth, with Boston, Milwaukee and the Knicks, and ahead of Atlanta. Despite being without Embiid for a lot of games.

    So you'd trade Dame for him? Because that's the only way to bring him here.

    Wow, is that not close to implied anywhere in there. Of course not, if you really need an answer to a ridiculous premise. The obvious piece is CJ and then add what else it takes.
    Simmons is NOT getting another teams multi-time all-star who is the #1 player on a Playoff team the caliber of Dame in a trade.

    I will bet you anything you like that we are not getting Simmons for any package that doesn't include Dame. At this point I really don't see how anyone could believe we are.

    I doubt we get him because.....Neil. However, neither Portland or anyone else is giving up a player of Dame's caliber for Simmons. They have lost the leverage for anything close to that with how this has been handled from the start.

    I'm pretty sure even if Neil offered CJ + draft picks Morey wouldn't take it. CJ's a poor fit now that you have Curry and Maxey as two huge contributors. Hell, I rate CJ better than Jerami Grant, but he's a better fit for the Sixers than CJ, and we've heard what Morey thinks of him.

    The Blazers should offer CJ & Naz for Ben.

    I think Morey would want at least 3 firsts to go along.

    I think they want CJ, Nas, picks and swaps.

    How are those Championship odds now, Mr Morey? Your team isn’t even in the play-in! Morey has handled this terribly. Should’ve made a deal in July at the latest.

    And now stuck in 11th. The standings don’t care if Embiid missed games.

    Let’s trade Nurkic, CJ and RoCo plus a #1 to Philly for Simmons and Harris.

    get rid of our problems that will help Philly at Center, give somewhat of a replacement to Harris and Simmons for RoCo and CJ along with a pick - win for both sides.

    options for Philly with Nurk’s expiring too

    Dame / Powell / Simmons / Harris / Nance

    with Little / Ant / Zeller off the bench

    It’s small at Center but several of the bigs around the league are injured anyways


    pick up a ver bench player or two for the playoffs

    Trading Nurk would be really dumb.
