Yeah, the proposal would be something like Lowry and Boucher and our 2022 pick (unprotected) to Philly, Simmons and the guy we draft at 4 and our 2024 pick (lightly protected, like top 5 or something, sliding to unprotected the next year) plus swap rights in 2023 to Portland, and Dame coming here. That's the dream. Fred, OG and Siakam playing beside a megawatt high usage scorer is the formula, and being able to keep all of them means you are diving gladly into the tax and shedding whatever draft assets are needed within the window Dame is signed for (up to 2024, player option 2025). You try your darnedest to hold onto guys like Flynn and Harris, who would have low trade value anyway but would be valuable cheap depth, but if Portland wants them instead of one of those picks that's fine too..

If Philly is dangling Simmons and Portland has interest.. they'll be the ones wanting Dame here.
I think Simmons is likely to get traded this off-season whether they get Dame or not. They've had years of this experiment and it has fallen short every time, even with Doc as the head coach this season. At some point you have to realize Embiid and Simmons aren't a good fit.

Dame is exactly what Philly needs to close games. If that happens, between Sixers, Nets, Bucks and Hawks rising.... Raps should go into rebuilding mode for the next 2-4 years.
Hawks could very well be the Miami Heat of this season's playoffs. Sixers will still be relying on Embiid's wonky legs. Nets have three great players but 1 of them has a long history of injuries, the other is playing on a surgically repaired leg and the third guy is turning 32 with a lot of road behind him. And the Bucks almost lost to a Nets team featuring one of them.

one of the moves I saw happening. Interesting what Warriors will do
Suggs, GTJ, OG, Wiseman and the 7th pick would be a nice start.
Edit: Wiggins will likely be needed to match salary, so add him into that lineup. He had a nice year last season, so not a bad get if the Raptors go that route.Last edited by A.I; Mon Jun 28, 2021, 01:18 PM.

I am old enough to remember when that RR guy was writing that every team should just give up cause Miami was going to win 7 titles in a row.
