    CJ McCollum Darrick Jones Jr. and a 2nd round pick for Danny Green and Ben Simmons.

    Let's see if Rich Paul will lookout for the best interest of Nurkic and force Philly to trade Simmons to Portland.
    Or if he only cares about his clients being in a big market.

    Green is a FA. Deal doesn't work.

    Lowe and Marks talked heavily about a DeRozan for Simmons S&T. Not sure if Philly would like DeRozan more than CJ (They both have pretty glaring flaws), but Spurs could also throw in Derrick White. I guess that's pretty interesting.

    Like Andre Iguodala (another Sixers star who was said to be able to do "everything except shoot").
    Also like Markelle Fultz (another #1 pick who developed mysterious shooting problems in Philly but has (somewhat) bounced back for Orlando)

    But it sounds like they want to seem like they're not trading him:

    Derozan (a) doesn't shoot threes, and (b) was born in the 80s.
    The Spurs are pretty low on great shooters these days. Maybe why Pop doesn't give a shit that Simmons can't shoot.

    I think dark horse candidates are OKC and Sacramento. If I was Sacto I'd offer D'Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield. OKC could offer Kemba, Dort and a boatload of picks.

    If this is true, then Ben Simmons is a moron, as is Rich Paul.

    So Liam Simmons has the same mom, different dad (was wondering how it was that he looked so different)

    Fox is a stud. Absolute stud and with Haliburton the Kings haven’t had this much to be excited about since C Webb and Bibby etc

    Didn't know Hield would be this high - I was thinking of him as kind of a throw-in. But I think Fox is overrated.

    Don't they play the same position? I like Halliburton a lot more than Fox.

    I think Simmons can be a valuable asset at the right position but what would that position be on the Blazers. if they trade CJ then Powell slides to the 2 spot. Simmons probably wouldn't make a good 3 with his shooting problems so that leaves playing him at center. OK - Now what becomes of Nurk?

    I honestly don't know where he would fit in with the current roster sans CJ.

    1. You forgot PF.
    2. Why can't we just call Simmons and RoCo our forwards?
    3. I still think he's best off the bench, but I doubt anyone signing his checks (or him) would be happy with that.

    There are definite problems of where to put Simmons. But every team would have that. Maybe he needs to just go to some shitty team where they can build the team round him. He's still young.

    It'd be funny if Houston made a play for him, after they stiffed Morey on the Harden trade.

    Well, that was impressive. Maybe he just doesn't like playing with Embid?
