More funny than serious DET/LAL/PHI/MIN

As I said in the title the goal was more amusement than anything else. I started thinking about whether Philly misses Tobias Harris at his current price point. Also if Philly has PG buyers remorse. Then I started thinking about how badly LAL wants a big name 3rd scorer. So the idea moves PG 13 to LAL and Harris to Philly. Making the money work and finding teams willing to take LAL players got tricky. Also I am most familiar with Minnesota so I added them. Feel free to tweak this as you see fit. Again it is more gag idea than real idea. Also Spotrac says it works.

Pistons out: Tobias Harris
Pistons in: Julius Randle and Andre Drummond

76ers out: PG 13, Andre Drummond
76ers in: Tobias Harris, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Rui Hachimura

Timberwolves out: Julius Randle
Timberwolves in: Austin Reaves, Gabe Vincent, JHS

Lakers in: PG 13
Lakers out: Reaves, Rui, Vando, Vincent, JHS

Where did you hear that Lakers badly want a big name 3rd scorer?

I tweaked it:

Pistons get Randle, DET25FRP

Minnesota get Tobias, Duren

Nope.

I think I speak for most Philly fans when I say that regardless of what our opinion on PG is... we do not miss Tobias at any price point. :lol:

For DET, I'd take either
the OP (Randle and Drummond for Harris)
or Zimpy's counter (Randle + DET 2025 FRP returned for Harris and Duren)

Both value around $10M of DET's cap space at approx. a non-lotto FRP (the value difference between Randle and Harris??)

Since I'd be so quick to say yes for DET, we may be getting too good a deal? DET might need to take back more unwanted money, or send back expiring THJ instead of Harris?

I don’t see MN wanting Reaves. We need more size, not less.

Lakers don't want to pay PG 50 mil for the next four years. They certainly don't want to give up Reaves to do that.

Last year was where it started. Towards the end of the season I heard on hoopshype and elsewhere that Lakers would be willing to move picks to acquire a 3rd star. Then recently I have heard trade rumblings all over the place (I put Pods and clips of sports shows from YouTube on in the background) I heard talk of Lavine, among other names for the 3rd scorer.

Would you be happy with Harris and Duren?

Conley, Ant, McD, Harris, Gobert
Dilly, DDV, NAW, Naz, Duren

Harris is a tough fit for us. Naz probably gets the start because we want to keep him and he will leave if we don’t start him. Duren is someone I like behind Rudy, but I don’t think the value is correct. Harris is a bad money player, Randle is more valuable than Duren. The first would be left out and used to get us a Point Guard.

Remove the first and I would on the premise that I can trade Harris as an expiring next year.
