3way with Brooklyn and Toronto. Simmons and OG here, Simons/Hart to BRK, Nurk/Keon/BRK picks to TOR.

That would be fucking great.

If you still did all of our second rounders and Justise for Vanderbilt, we would have a ton of the type of players that both thrive in a system like Chauncey's and would complement Dame. However we are sending two more players out than we're getting back and that would mean going over the lux tax to even sign min FAs... I don't think we'd be into the tax though without the Vanderbilt deal. The deal above puts us 1M under the tax and I think we could get min level guys for the rest of the season for less than 500k a piece because of prorated minimum salaries.

Yeah it would have to be guys with no years of NBA experience but we could fill out the roster.

That doesn't seem like enough for OG.

How about Simons/Nurk/Keon to TOR, and they send Boucher and Young over to Brooklyn along with us sending Hart. Closer to fair value for the apparently undesirable Simmons.

Dude, HOW do you still want Ben Simmons?? Fucking figure out what the rest of the league already has.

Jesus Christ! This place is bizarre.

Defense would be great but man we’d struggle with shooters teams would camp in lane and dare everyone not named Dame to shoot

OG shoots around 37% from three, Jerami shoots over 41%, Shae 34.5%, Gary is a career 33+% (I won't get into his 57% from three for this season). We would have a ton of shooting just none from Simmons.
 
I am going to keep this simple -- NO .... HELL NO ... F'ing HELL NO to Ben Simmons and anyone who wants Simmons on the Blazers need to get drug tested asap ... NEXT

I am not trying to be rude but any idea that leads to Simmons on this team is an instant non starter and kills any trade idea that is given without a second thought on my part.

It's hard for me to believe that the guy isn't salvageable. I think he's gone from one toxic team to another during this downturn in his career. I think his contract should be seen as having negative value right now but if he comes with picks, or in this case OG... I'd want to roll the dice on him, when he is around leaders like Dame and Chauncey.

this ownership group is not going into the tax for Ben Simmons.

If we did that trade from above, we would be cutting enough salary to sign two free agents with 0 years of NBA experience for the rest of the season and still be under the luxury tax line. Not that this trade is going to happen or anything, just saying that it would not have to take us into the tax.

I think Toronto has been asking for me :dunno:

Yeah, that could be the case. Keon being a second year player is almost like a pick, then there are two first rounders. I don't even know if Brooklyn wants to move Simmons if it's going to cost them the only two firsts they can deal, even if it means getting talent like Ant and Josh who could both definitely make that team better.

Just trying to match salaries. Hart shouldn’t be starter so that don’t count and Keon is bench player. Nurk isn’t living up to expectations so make fun of this but I think it is the type of risk you take with huge upside and low risk.

Shouldn't or not he's a starter.

It's still an awful trade for a guy with no value.

Lmao for real. Simmons is awful and should be on nobody's trade list period. There is no discussion to be had on acquiring him.
 
If we got Simmons for a deal that shipped out Nurk, would you be interested?

Simmons is certainly not worth his contract (mind you, is anyone worth what NBA contracts pay?) and has become pretty much a net negative on offense, but: his strengths were always defense and point guard skills in a PF's body. Has that gone too? He still knows how to dribble, pass and play defense, right? Or have his injuries taken away from that, too?

Imagine a team full of 3-and-D players who can't create for themselves but are knockdown shooters when you give them the ball in the right places. Wouldn't Ben Simmons help a team like that?

Let’s hope not. I don’t want anything to do with that guy.

I don't think anybody really has to worry about it. I think it would be punitive for the Nets to get rid of him at this point, so if it really is him or KD, I think Marks would be smart to take the haul for KD (picks and players), still hoping that Simmons at least somewhat comes back towards the player he once was, instead of having to send Simmons and more value out just to assuage KD for the time being and who knows for how long.

What about the 41 games he doesn't play because he's got a sore back or a sore ego?

But one is about the trade deadline and the other is about trade ideas for the trade deadline. Those two different topics need their own thread.

I was the one saying that but the amount has blown up since then. I wouldn't give a fuck if all of the trade deadline/idea threads were merged into this one.
