    This deserves at least 2 threads. I hope OP makes another where he lists out who the "players" are that we are getting.

    Lavine for Harden and nothing else basically is underwhelming. Lavine is a liability defensively. If its some of the Bulls 1st rounders I may perk up a bit, but player for player Philly wins hands down. Fill out the rest of your thought with some specifics and it COULD be a respectable option. Lavine off ball to Wall could work schematically.

    Lavine is bad player good stats - empty calories, I don’t want him to be any part of a trade and it’s shocking to me that I’ve seen more than a few on this board float him as a viable centerpiece with picks. Throw in Markenan and Carter and maybe it’ll be interesting.

    You put like ZERO thought behind this. Why couldn't this have been just a post in RANDOM TRADE THREAD?

    You guys are asses. Rip this guy for making a thread but talk about how Eddie Cesco or whatever heard Wall yell “I’m better than Westbrook” for 15 pages.

    I think your idea is having Ben Simmons and Wall is a terrible idea so make it a 3 team trade and net a different package. It’s smart thinking but Wall is not any kind of answer I don’t think, and Simmons is young enough where you can wait out Walls contract.

    In theory though if the picks were really good and if Wall somehow was flourishing your idea would make more sense on paper.

    Wall Lavine EG Markenan Wood
    Tucker House Cousins 2 Chicago First Rounders Portland First Rounder

    Have to go back to the fact that you’re giving up Harden, that team doesn’t equate that. Maybe try a different third team and wing instead of Lavine

    Bro, word of advice. First, you didn't need to create a new thread for this. There are literally 15 threads where you could have dumped this....especially the Random Trade thread. Second, saying "Zach Lavine, players, and picks" means absolutely nothing. Knowing exactly what those other players and picks are is absolutely essential in any deal. You can't gloss over details like that. Third, your trade is trash. Why would the Rockets rather have Zach Lavine instead of Ben Simmons. Simmons is the superior player in every facet of the game outside of shooting, and impacts actual wins and losses. Lavine hasn't done **** in that regard.

    Theres has to be more player and picks involved, I was actually thinking about a trade like this yesterday.I really like herro and Robinson tho, Simmons broken shot is a turn off.
