Dragic/Trent/OG/pascal/Simmons Flynn/Barnes/Prescious
It would need work but the defensive potential could be legendary.

I'm against Simmons on the Raptors if he continues to be stubborn and refuse to shoot.
I'm against a Simmons trade if OG and/or Pascal is involved.
If all it costs is Fred, Malachi and Boucher and 2 picks...I'm a little less against it.

Id take that trade, dont love the idea of Simmons but I would love that defense. Combo Simmons/OG/Barnes/Siakam/ would be a terrifying combo.

Beasley and Edwards for Simmons with Edward’s parlayed to a rebuilding team for a veteran starter.
Well the Wolves don’t won’t to give up Towns, Edwards or Russell so what do they actually have after that? Not much. The easiest trade for both teams would be Russell and pieces for Simmons. 76ers get their allstar and additional assets. Wolves get their guy that can transform their defence. The only reason this won’t happen is because Russell is Towns’ boy.
I thought Russell would be an all-star coming out of college because he had so much skill already at Ohio State (looked to be a really great flashy passer and 40% 3pt guy, it just hasn't translated) but his lack of defense and his ball stopping style just seem to have him written off by a lot of people. I wouldn't be 100% sure he wouldn't get benched in a tough playoff series for Curry's shooting or a developing Tyrese Maxey.
In theory, something like Russell and a 1st from Minny to Philly, Simmons to Minnesota and then a Minnesota firsts and Okogie to say OKC for Lu Dort (or any similar Minny pick and player to a rebuilding team for a wing who can start at the 3 for Philly) makes sense. But in practice, I'm not sure Philly would trust Russell for their title hopes over a guy like McCollum even though he's younger.
