    Sixers don't want Wood.

    And Wood's game complements Simmons perfectly.

    But what the hell, why not.

    LAC IN: Wall

    CLE IN: Kennard, Augustin, Bledsoe

    HOU IN: Simmons, Ibaka, Love

    PHI IN: Sexton, Gordon, House

    Rockets buyout Ibaka and let Love’s 30m come off the books next offseason. This move would also open up a spot for Thomas to come back.

    KPJ/Brooks/Thomas
    Green/Nwaba/Christopher
    Tate/Martin/Exum
    Simmons/Theis/Garuba
    Wood/Sengun/Love

    Philly gets a young PG who can shoot and two vet wing players.

    Cleveland gets off of Love’s contract and avoids paying Sexton.

    Clippers get their big 3 without giving up a lot.

    I'm growing to be a big fan of Stone but that could be torpedoed very quickly depending on how this shakes out.

    Id be happy to use him to get off Gordon, House and swap Wood for Turner.

    Rockets - Turner, Lamb, Korkmas

    6ers - Wood, Brogdon, House, 2022 and 2024 FRP from Pacers

    Pacers - Simmons, Gordon, Maxey

    KPJ and Collin Sexton former Teammates

    Could it be that the rockets are just hanging around in the hope that the market for Simmons is so cold and the 6ers get so desperate, that they are willing to do a John wall swap? Simmons appears to be a negative asset with his contract, maybe Philly throws in additional compensation.

    even then, would Houston want to tie up all that cap space for 4 more years on Simmons?

    I don’t understand.

    That lineup will be great at building entire apartment complexes with all the bricks we end up throwing up. Simmons need shooters and swapping him for Wood and Ego gets rid of our 2nd and 3rd best shooters.

    That’s when I go to Safeway to get some fruit bowls. I think he meant to tweet his grocery list.

    Why would you want both Simmons' and Wall's contracts on the books at the same time? And if you trade Wood, aren't you giving up exactly the kind of player you'd need to surround Simmons with?

    You don’t, but realistically Sixers will never take Wall.

    Daryl Morey is waiting for Damian Lillard or Bradley Beal to be available.
