Removing attachment to our players, would you swap rosters with Minnesota, Denver, Philly or Milwaukee?

Philly could have two top-5 picks next year along with Sac's 19' unprotected pick. The ghost of Hinkie lives on.

Wolves - Yes
Nuggets - No
Sixers - Yes
Bucks - Close no

Face of the NBA ie the most popular player, isn't always the best player.

I'd take the best player over the most popular player any day. At this point, it's KAT over Booker.

If healthy Embiid is better than KAT. Giannis is better too. KAT's defense is awful. Like worst big in the league next to Okafor. Still a better player than Booker, but not as good as the other two imo.

I'm not confident about Embiid which is why it's a close yes. I love Giannis but the rest of the team (Parker healthy?) is iffy. Minny is the only team I would hands down take over ours. KAT is legit (even with his current defensive woes) and even if Wiggins never reaches his potential, he's still a damn solid NBA player. The rest of the team (Lavine, Jones, Gieng, Bazz) are all either decent or have the potential to be solid contributors.

Philly is pretty scary if they stay healthy. If they take Jackson, they have Jackson/Simmons/Embiid frontcourt with Covington and Saric off the bench.

Tons of cap space and they are talking about Lowry or re-signing Holiday, and I think mentioned some shooting guards. They say there are tons of FA point guards.

I agree, I like Philly's outlook especially with the picks they have coming up. I'm just not confident about their health which is scary when they should be a very young team.

I couldn't perform this mental exercise because I literally cannot remove attachment to our players. :D

Yes to the bucks and wolves, probably a no to the others. What's weird about this exercise is that in 5 years I still expect our team to be better than all 4 of these teams (although the wolves will be up there), even though I would take some of their roster's over ours currently.
