Rockets with Westbrook and Gordon?

Was thinking about Magic (Vucevic and Gordon)
We probably overpaid, but the thing is that the players aren't that bad. Our overpaid players at least aren't John Wall, Paul, Westbrook, Griffin or other Andrew Wiggins-type players

Sorry for the trite trade suggestion, but it's time to stop screwing around with our "huge" lineup fantasy and grab a vet guard who can take over games offensively and commands respect in the locker room. The trade likely won't relieve the cap situation, which is likely to be rough next year, but it helps fix the team dynamic immensely.
I'm hoping Horford will be moveable for cap relief next year, but I'm struggling to figure out who would want him at this price...

I still think he will grow into his body and become a '3-and-d' backup five. Ben Simmons has to play with centers who can shoot. But we also need defense when Joel is on the pine. Bamba, Gafford, Claxton, Giles, Chriss.
I would ask for much more, obviously, such as Chandler Hutchinson and the Bulls next available 1st round pick, unprotected.BullyKing wrote:51X3RF4N wrote:If Simmons is going to Chicago, then I expect LaVine and Markkanen as a starting point.Dez wrote:Just on the Simmons to Chicago trades.
What type of players would Philly be looking for? Would a replacement PG need to be the best player coming back?
I don't know how to get the financials to work (and I know a lot of teams could beat the offer) but it would be based around Coby White, Lauri Markkanen and our 1st for Simmons.
I feel there's enough there to get Philly to not automatically hang up the phone.
Even then you're still only talking about two quarters for a dollar. There's really nothing on Chicago that remotely gets me excited about trading Simmons.

But the basis of building around Zack, Joel, Tobias, Matisse and Josh with a bench of Horford, Lauri, Hutch, Kork and Shake feels like a nice blend of youth and depth and an alpha scorer. Plus with a future pick coming, could be a better deal than keeping Ben who won't shoot?

If he's not going to play then I must assume he's still hurt to some degree even after all this time. Maybe for good. This team has a bad history for trading for or signing big names and getting damaged goods (Bynum, Brand, Webber, Ruland. etc). These moves only resulted in actually setting us back even further. Too bad. I was really looking forward to monitoring Oladipo's play. A healthy Oladipo would have looked good in a Sixer uniform.
The problem is that if we're looking to get a guy who fits the bill without trading either Embiid or Simmons to do it the list just got one name shorter. And it was a short list to start with.
