4 Way Irving/Simmons deal. Do what it takes to keep KD happy


Obviously this many pieces in a trade is more likely to happen in 2K than in real life, but would be an intriguing resolution to the current mess Brooklyn is in. Looking forward to all of the downvotes, let's get into it.

Kyrie wants out, the Lakers make the most sense. Simmons is not performing to expectations, lets get him in Lebron's boot camp and see if he can't straighten him out. Would give the Lakers the offensive and defensive firepower to compete now while also allowing the Lakers front office to sell the idea that they have enough youth to compete even after Lebron hangs them up.

Why is Orlando here? Because Utah can't take Beverly back, so he's gotta go somewhere else. Why not to Orlando where they can either see if he can galvanize a young team into a late season run (again) or buy him out and save a year of paying Harris.

Utah is a great story this year. Near .500 despite trading away 2 all stars, including Lauri blossoming into an All-Start himself? Riveting stuff. That said, the goal was to tear it down and rebuild similar to what Danny did in Boston. Selling high for an attractive collection of picks and a ton of expiring money which can move you back to the top of this year's draft is right out of trade Danny's playbook.

Is this enough back for Brooklyn? Let's not believe Kyrie and Simmons carry the value they once did on the open market. The goal here should be to get productive starters and an all star back that compliment the current roster (especially KD), keep them in the hunt this year, and help them to move on from the headaches of the past few years. This team version of the team might not carry the same star power it currently does, but it should be a ton of fun to watch and even more for Vaughn to coach
