Simple trade: Portland/Philly: George for Grant+Simons

[JRoy]

That seems like about the minimum I'd consider accepting from Portland's perspective, but there's no way I'd offer it if I were Philly.

I don't think there's an overlap between what PDX would require to make this swap and what Philly would offer to get it done

Yep - agreed.

Maybe something like:

Portland trades: Simons, Grant, #10 for PG, #5
Orlando trades: KCP, #16 for Simons
Philly trades: PG, #5 for KCP, Grant, #10, #16

Of course Philly is very unlikely to end up at #5 post-lottery, either moving into the top-4 or moving down - perhaps down far enough to lose their pick to OKC.

Too good for PHI

Portland would have to really love who is at 5, but I think in most scenarios if this was on the table I would cut Phili out so Portland keeps the #10 and swaps Simons for KCP and #16. Then they can seek a follow up trade potentially using 10 and 16 to see if they can move up some without having to take on PG13.

Knowing the Blazers, they would do this (OP).
