Ooooooh....Ben Simmons on this team, now that is an interesting thought.

Not unless there is an absolute train of 1sts that comes along with him.

Anfernee Simons… not Ben… eff that.

Sexton for Ben Simmons straight up plus the freed up cap space. We surround Simmons with shooters.

I think something like this makes a bit of sense for both teams. If I am the Blazers I am happy enough taking on Ben Simmons salary for 2 years in exchange so long as I get loaded the best picks Nets have to offer. I am also getting 2 serviceable, quality contracts in Dorian Finney-Smith and Royce O'neal. I am going all in on the youth movement while adding Cam Thomas (who looked good last year) and Dariq Whitehead (this year's first rounder for Brooklyn).

If I am the Nets, I am pairing up Damian Lillard with Mikal Bridges. I have two solid complimentary starters in Jerami Grant and Cam Johnson to go along with a decent'ish bench. I lose some depth, but get off the Simmons contract.

I think the argument is over what picks get swapped and how many. I put 3 of the best ones that the Nets have.

That is WAY better for Portland than anything Miami is putting out there.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Blazers contacted the Jazz in search of additional assets.

You can easily substitute Spencer Dinwiddie in for Dorian Finney OR Royce O'neal and the numbers still work.

Rockets overpaying for Brooks and Lockdale.

Not sure I’d want to take on Herro, but I wouldn’t mind snagging Jaquez for a pick if the opportunity presents itself.

Brooks 4/80M and Landale 4/32M to Houston. They are also absorbing Patty Mills from Houston in a trade.
