In this crazy offseason block buster the Sixers, T-wolves, Pacers, Rockets, and Blazers make a deal headlined by James Harden, Damian Lillard, Myles Turner, KAT and Tobias Harris.
Sixers
Outgoing -> J. Harden, PJ Tucker, T. Harris, 2029 1RP, 2027 and 2030 2RP
Incoming -> Dame, B. Heild, and Kevin Porter Jr.
In this senario the sixers complete a sign and trade sending James Harden to the rockets in Exchange for KPJ and picks. Then send a Haul to the Blazers for Dame who requests a trade to Philly after they sign PF D. Green (3yr/43.6mil). This also allows the sixers to have free cal to resign F G. Niang (1yr/4mil) and C P. Reed (4yr/6.4mil). The Sixers also cut G F. Korkmaz which saves them 5.3mill

Pacers
Outgoing -> M. Turner, B. Heild

This moves allows the Pacers to have freedom to make a splash next offseason while still having money to resign their young stars.
