Fake Trade Thread 2

Mitchell Robinson is only hyped because he's a Knick. He's not going to move the needle.

What about Sabonis. Indy is struggling again and can reset if they clear two salaries, would you trade 3 and Batum for Sabonis and Lamb? I would.

Rather have Myles Turner. No doubt Pacers would demand pick 3 though. Sixers seem prime candidate to pay to unload one of their big contracts. It's just that Harris is redundant here and Horford is 34 and locked up 3 more years. They were drunk when they signed those players.

I have a horrible horrible feeling about Harris. He makes 1.5x what we paid Nic Batum. I really wouldn't take Harris for anything Philly would offer to offload him.

Horford is a more manageable contract and I would take him and that bloated contract for 2 1sts.

I know people on the board would hate this but I'd offer Graham + 3 + Batum for Simmons. Really doubt sixers would go through with it considering not a clear target at 3 for them. It would give us a foundation piece to build around. He has limitations next to Embiid but surround him with shooters and you'd really have a team.

Simmons needs shooters. Devonte' is the team's best shooter. If you really want Simmons then you can't trade him and expect to have a functional team afterwards. It's fine to offer more than the 3, and I'm not arguing value here ... it's just that the trade wouldn't make sense team wise for the Hornets.

I wonder how much they could get out of Philly for taking on Horfords contract?

Vanderbilt_Grad · Post #1770 » by **Vanderbilt_Grad** » Tue Aug 25, 2020 1:57 pm

They don't have a pick this year, so any compensation might be a ways off.

Braggins · Post #1771 » by **Braggins** » Tue Aug 25, 2020 2:08 pm

NBA.com has them with pick 21 this year from Orlando. I assume its from the Fultz trade if thats correct.

Instead of Graham, how about Terry?

I don't the value is there without Graham really. I understand it would be a big help to have a shooter like Graham next to Simmons but I also don't believe that team is competing for more than the 8th seed anyway.

Maybe do PJ + Bridges instead of Graham.

The Sixers' predicament definitely opens opportunity but considering the cost of unloading Horford and Harris I think they're stuck with them.

I think they're more likely to build around Simmons over Embiid and that's the smart route.

Going smaller might be better for building around Simmons. If they shift Harris to PF and Horford to C then they can trade Embiid.

Would they be open to pick 3 + Rozier for Embiid?

Would anyone do that deal?

James Gatz · Post #1775 » by **James Gatz** » Tue Aug 25, 2020 5:36 pm

I'd do it in a second but that's not near enough value for sixers.

Sixers would want 3, PJ and Miles just to begin a conversation.

Okay, how about Zeller expiring + pick 3 for Myles Turner? Would you do that? Pacers have peaked with their roster, have 2 centers, have to retain Oladipo and don't have a boatload of cap space to change the makeup of their roster.

Certainly not if Wiseman is available. I can't see them making a deal with Indy involving the #3.

If you are so opposed to bigs in the modern NBA then why are you continuously suggesting trading for Turner????

That is a terrible deal for us.
