    Is that '25 players' the same Top-25 that he was wanting before?

    cant see that. They need guys that can space the floor. Fox isn’t a shooter.

    I would easily give CJ and 2 (protected) 1sts.

    Trade Roco to the Bulls to get our first back.

    Trade 2023 and 2025 protected firsts to the Sixers with Cj for Ben.

    Yes, please.

    Dame, Simmons, lotto pick gets me excited.

    that looks good, but how realistic is it to expect the Bulls to give back that pick for RoCo? I really don't know

    I think their desire for guys to space the floor is/was because of Ben. I think a much bigger need for them currently is someone who could get their own shot. In end of game situations, it's often difficult to toss it to your C, and they don't really have that late game playmaker otherwise. I don't love Fox, but he would at least provide them with some of that, more than what they have.

    I don't know if the Bulls will give us back our pick for RoCo but according to a lot of national journalists RoCo and Nurk are both fairly sought after because of their abilities and bird rights. So at least one of those guys should be able to get us an unconditional 2022 first rounder from a contender and as soon as we have one, all of our future first rounders are available to move.

    Sounds like CJ is more their guy than Fox would be in any case plus I would imagine they could squeeze more out of us with CJ than they can from Sac with Fox.

    Watching the Celtics play and they could really use either CJ or Powell.

    I don't think Boston is interested in Westbrook, but if they are (and there were murmurs), I think that CJ/Horford to LAL, Smart and a future pick to PDX, and Westbrook to Boston could work out if we think Smart can play 3 better than Powell. We'd still be somewhat undersized, but the cap relief would help us keep Ant.

    If we could then swing Roco to Chicago, Pat Williams (and a pick of ours to Detroit), and Jerami Grant to us, I'd love our future.

    Lillard/Simons
    Powell/(Smart/Simons)
    Little/Smart
    Jerami Grant/Nance
    Nurkic/(Zeller/Nance)

    That team is a hell of a lot tougher than ours currently.

    I like this trade but I wouldn't take Danny Green. Green is valuable to them and this trade doesn't get us under the tax because of the trade kicker in Simmons' contract. Maybe we'd get Shake out of them but if not I'm still cool with the trade and it still works as far as the CBA with Philly taking both DJJ and CJ for Simmons. With Dame out I think we'd likely still be in shambles. I do think we would move Nurk for a stretch big because I don't think him and Simmons work together and I don't trust him to stick around here, so I wouldn't want to lose Nurk for nothing.

    I believe Simmons can waive his trade kicker. I feel like in this situation he may be willing to do so.

    If Sixers need a 1st to get a deal done we can throw buy and send over a 2nd with Roco to get the 1st back. It's time we get creative.

    I would love to see how Nurkic would do in Warriors. What Blazers can take from them?
