How about a 3 way? Toronto ends up with Wiseman/Wiggins/Kuminga/Moody...GS ends up with Simmons and Philly ends up with Siakam and 2 picks.

Trading Pascal for Ben Simmons might just break me. What a horrible idea that would be.

I think it would be pascal and Fred plus picks for Simmons and filler. If that makes you puke understand philly is asking for a lot.

Simmons, Barnes, OG, Trent and precious.

Fred+Boucher+pick might work. Nurse gets the mad scientist lineup, Philly get quality pieces.

I'm not a fan of Simmons either, but a part of me wants to see Simmons-OG-Barnes on the floor together.

We already don't have a go to scorer and we're going to trade our best half court scorer for one of the worst ones? I realize Simmons does a lot of other things better than Siakam but it seems like a lateral move.

We all like this idea because we can imagine the absolute terror they would be defensively and in transition. But if we're honest, as good as those three would be defensively and in transition, they would be almost as bad in the half court offense unless Barnes has miraculously turned himself into a 36% shooter from 3.

I have a really hard time believing the Mavs would give up Green in a deal for Dragic.

I'd be ecstatic if we can nab Josh Green for Dragic.

Wouldn't nbe surprised if the Raps try to include him in a deal for Ben Simmons maybe lmao.

I don't hate Ben that much, his arrogance and lack of drive are definitely red flags but hes talented. Idk what it's gonna be tho, not sure I like us paying a "premium" for a guy that constantly wilts in the playoffs. But he's still a good mobile defender with great size and some really creative transition offense. Idk maybe Nurse can be the Ben whisperer.

i will say, if theres one coach who could connect with ben its nurse. watch this man at lsu and its night and day. maybe if hes the man here under nurse it would force him to shoot
