I'm down.We ain't getting Simmons for a bunch of reasons... unless you want to trade Donovan for him.

I think JC, Conley and a 1st should interest Philly. Probably not get it done, but should be of interest.JC and Conley may be 60 cents on the dollar. I think any player/picks package will be maybe 65 cents on the dollar. I think we need to start getting our name in these Simmons rumors. Not because we’ll get him, but because our defense has been so bad that I think the team needs to hear that we’re trying to make trades to bring in a huge douche.
You've gone beyond LoPo on this take.I'm down.
From what I can tell, most fans of other teams view JC as a negative asset because of his bad defense and inconsistent offense. I don’t think Conley has as much value as you’d think.JC and Conley may be 60 cents on the dollar. I think any player/picks package will be maybe 65 cents on the dollar.

Well, yeah, but we would have two more ROY trophies in our in our franchise showcase. Amiright?From what I can tell, most fans of other teams view JC as a negative asset because of his bad defense and inconsistent offense. I don’t think Conley has as much value as you’d think.
Anyone that thinks the Jazz even come close to having a package that Philly would want for Simmons is severely mistaken. Whether they want another all-star level player or a package of assets, Philly has better options for both. It absolutely is not happening. Even if it did, he’s a Klutch player, he’d start trying to force his way out next year, he’s not going to settle for Utah. His agent won’t let him.
To be clear I wouldn't trade them straight up. I'd need more, but a team built around Gobert and Simmons would be interesting if you could put a lot of shooters around them (which Utah already has).You've gone beyond LoPo on this take.
Utah can compete if they want win now pieces. A package built around Bojan and Conley would be huge for them. Both fit perfectly with Embiid.From what I can tell, most fans of other teams view JC as a negative asset because of his bad defense and inconsistent offense.

Buyout would be great but then you are competing with every glamour market and it’s be easy for him to jump on board with the Lakers, Nets, or maybe the Bucks (not a glamour market but a contender).I’d be curious about Ibaka. I’d be more curious if he were bought out. Not sure how much you can rely on his health. He does fit in the TPE in the unlikely event that you’re able to do a second multi-team move where we send out a whole bunch of salary that we don’t take back.

I think there would be a market for him for sure, just not as large as we'd hope. It's unfortunate, because he's probably the piece it would hurt the least to lose.You make some good points. I highly doubt we even really try for the guy.
As for Clarkson, I bet there is a market out there. Maybe not every team, but somebody out there would love his influence off the bench.
I also love trade hypotheticals that really benefit us but don’t give the other teams much in return.There’s gotta be some picks moving somewhere…
Richardson and Nesmith = Smart’s salary since you can’t trade him yet.

As long as you know that we cool.I also love trade hypotheticals that really benefit us but don’t give the other teams much in return.
I think something could be built around Conley for Smart. Boston might want more a floor general out there than Shroeder. I think Smart has more value due to age and contract, but Boston might be pretty desperate.If you were to get Morris or Smart I think Royce has to be in the deal. He might be the sweetner with the expiring contracts that help make it worthwhile.
I'd do it. My all-in moves are getting both those guys. Keep DM, Rudy, Bojan, and Mike, and use whatever combo of what's left to get those guys.If you were to get Morris or Smart I think Royce has to be in the deal. He might be the sweetner with the expiring contracts that help make it worthwhile.
