    No... we already have a weak player on our team named Capela. Chris Paul and Tucker are guys that are willing to do everything it takes to win. Not worth it. Call Jimmy B see if he wants to come home and take the starting 3 spot. Call de andre and see if he wants to come home and show peeps what a real defensive big with size can do. Hell he can even start after watching clint vs the warriors. Simmons for Chris Paul... is a no.

    If Simmons had a shot this would be a no brained for us anyway. I mean ideally long term it’s still a good trade for us.

    Would do this in a heartbeat.


    Philly isn't that stupid

    More likely they send Simmons and Harris in a package for Davis and Holiday

    Anyone saying they wouldn't take a 21 year old Simmons for 34 year old over the hill Paul is a freaking idiot.

    Too bad this idiot isn't the Philly GM.
    Get rid of the albatross contract while getting back a premium asset? :rolleyes:

    Harden would forcefeed him for half a season to inflate his trade value and Morey would then trade him to NOP for AD.

    Harden and Simmons, Turnover festival! Eric Gordon if staying at his worst, turnover prone too.

    How do you actually trade for Simmons though.....

    He is at 8 million next year... Philly has to throw in a lot.

    Yes like Draymond Green, but can he box out, and out hustle Green. Chuck wagon is not walking through that door.

    Rumors about LeBron for Simmons had the 76ers needing to throw in a S&T of Butler/Harris for it to work.

    CP3/Capela/Gordon/picks for Simmons/Butler/Harris?

    Harden / Butler / Tucker / Harris / Simmons

    CP3 / Redick / Gordon / Capela / Embiid

    That's a viable option, I guess? idk.
