    If Ben is really such a tool, then he will do Kawhi sits in Portland and move to Cali as soon as he can. Draymond, with his flopping and crying is full time professional compared to Simmons. If GS want a star, Ben likes to go there, then GS will give away Green for it I guess. Morey would have to give up Lillard dream and settle for CJ.
    Idk if Green is my dream trade, but he would make us better.

    Agree. Green would make us better, and definitely please Dame.

    That is a big IF. I would not make a trade decision based on that extreme scenario.

    But if that was the case he would still command a good return from any team in California. So I would still roll the dice on him.

    No it’s not. That was last year because of the late start. Trade deadline will be in February this season.

    I cannot recall a single trade of note that happened between training camp and then about 2 weeks before the trade deadline. It's technically legal yes, but it's not done for various reasons around chemistry and continuity and perhaps tradition. Again I ask the specific question, what is the latest a blockbuster summer trade has been done prior to training camp? This gives us a good metric for when we can expect action and if there is none when we can sharpen our pikes, spruce up our torches and shine our pitchforms.

    This I agree with - Thybulle must be a target in any Por/Phi trade.

    Ben’s diva antics is tanking his trade value.

    Harden was traded a few weeks into the season just last year. Trades happen all the time from the end of the Finals to the deadline in February.

    aha! Youre right! Would be insanely foolish for Sixers to use that as a template. Value is much higher now than when dumpster fire season starts.

    if it's coming from Perkins, I would guess the info is trickling down from Klutch.

    Totally agree. Now if GS gets involved, maybe Green could be on the way to PDX. And then Dame would be happy, and Mr. Nightlife would also be happy.

    Certainties:
    Philly will not trade Simmons for a package where CJ is the main player
    Golden State will not trade Draymond

    The sooner certain people can accept this, the better.
