Simmons can supply defense all day long and let his teammates do all the shooting.


I don’t see why Chicago would do this.


Agree! I'm a Bulls fan that has been in favour of trading Lavine, BUT there is no way in hell Bulls trade him for that return (and I like Culver).
To add to that, Lavine has improved every year he's been in the league and is showing signs this season of continuing that trend. Can't see Bulls trading Lavine unless it's in a package for a superstar

just ignore troll proposal. hes just pissed Bulls stole lavine and doing a revenge trade. Why would bulls ever help wolves get simmons while trading number 1 guy?

Beal IMO. Don’t think Washington will get a better offer. Philly wanted a dynamic wing for him. Pretty even deal

Or very common to over value ones players as yet again Harden and Dipo trades prove. Even Allen got very little.

I am a LaVine fan too. Culver + Green for LaVine is a fair offer. Should a protected 1st go Bulls way? Sure. Not going to split hairs.

Yeah. For reference, Turner was pretty definitely offered for Hayward (to the point where he was informed) but the deal fell through and both parties continued as if nothing happened. And now, Turner is looking like a solid part of the Pacers' future once again.

It's a solid start, but I wouldn't want Harris. Something around Simmons + salary filler + 1st round pick for Lowry & Siakam though might make sense. Maybe send Simmons to Golden State for Wiseman, Wiggins and MIN pick.

Thats a ton of future salary to take on for Toronto. Besides that I don't believe Masa Ujiri has any intention of trading Siakam. He will look to build around him and re-tool or rebuild w Siakam. He is still only 26 so there's time.


Simmons is 24, and taking on salary is not the worst thing for the only Canadian team that has never signed a bigger free agent in their entire 25 year history. in fact it can be seen as incentive as those guys can not bolt. harris deal hurts but he has at least a 2-3 solid years of producing well I think


No again I think I'd still rather just take on their expiring salaries instead of Harris. Green + Scott + Thybulle + FRP is more appealing than Harris despite him being pretty good this year. I'd want Ben + a high lotto pick (our own) rather than make a playoff push.

76ers Lineup

Lowry
Curry
Harris
Siakam
Embiid


Toronto builds around Simmons, Anunoby, Vanvleet & 2021 FRP.

only issue I see for philly is pushing harris back to the 3 when he is much better suited for the 4. I think that is reflected in his play

I do not get this, what does talent or position have to do with it? Simmons is essentially position less. and hardly ever is talent traded for talent

making a move for Kawhi seems a little short sighted. he was in the atlantic division already. had a career bounce back year and won Canada's first chip. free food everywhere, royal treatment. if it does not work with the clips I think he tries to stay in Cali with the warriors or long shot lakers

I'm also good with just keeping Siakam as well. The main goal should be to land a top pick this year. I wouldn't want Harris + Simmons to mess that up :lol:.

Maybe a 3 team trade with Golden State works.

Simmons to DC as discussed a bunch of times, is a weird fit. Simmons and Westbrook for 3 years paired together. Wizards last two draft high picks have been forwards — Simmons ideal position. Outside of Bertans do they surround him with shooting?

The trade I have seen a bunch of times still works (maybe better) even after the draft.

Wizards: Beal + Fillers
FOR
Edwards + Culver + Green + Draft Picks

Wolves: Edwards + Rubio + Culver + Draft Capital

76ers get more shooting and a pass first PG.
Embiid
Harris
Thybulle
Beal
Rubio
Curry as 6th man and 4th quarter shooter.

76ers give this lineup a try. Next season they would have Rubio expiring salary, Curry, youth and own picks to upgrade if needed.

I would not be upset with that return in the slightest, well that is not totally true. oubre is blah but at least expiring. I just rather the re-tool than rebuild, too many years in the basement. the taste of winning is too sweet. ben/og/harris/fred plus a few pieces like davis/boucher/norm and whoever else can get signed/traded for might not be too bad in the east. not a clear cut top 3 but also not a push over in the slightest.

Why would Beal not make much sense and Harden does?

Beal is posting essentially the same numbers as Harden last year, only Beal is approaching his peak while Harden is on the downside of his. Also, with Beal, you don't get any of the off court headaches or the poor leadership by example where he never moves when he doesn't have the ball.

That better be a lot of "Draft Capital" for the Wizards to consider it. Beal is currently averaging 35/5/5 on above - .600 TS% by the way.

Uh huh. So when you say "draft picks" to Washington, what specifically do you mean? Because for the Wizards to trade Beal for Edwards, they'd have to get in my opinion, at least 3-4 draft picks and 3-4 pick swaps. Last time I checked, the Wolves don't even own their 2021 pick, so I'd say this deal is DOA.

Simmons doesn't have nearly close to the value you think he does.

Value can change based on the circumstances, teams etc and it doesnt necessarily have to he a 1 for 1 trade. I am also talking from the point of view of the Sixers and what they need. Naturally other teams have different needs and evaluations.
