Sixers/Twolves/Blazers


SUCCESS

Fanspo logo

Basically the same trade I made yesterday with the Kings but a better deal potentially with the Twolves if Blazers like two young guys in Beasley and McDaniels over Bagley (and Barnes). Still probably a better return than Thunder and Rockets got for PG/Harden but Dame is contracted longer and not requesting out so I think it's fair to assume his value is gonna be slightly higher.

Twolves have flagged they are unwilling to give up DLo in a deal for Simmons, which is fair enough (i.e. wanting to only add pieces when trying to build a contender). But in order to get it done then Beasley is a non-negotiable, McDaniels likely has to be included unless Portland want another specific young guy/s and picks. This is still an extremely good deal for the Timberwolves and if guys stay healthy they are probably shaping up to have a better roster than teams like the Mavericks, Clippers (no Kawhi), Grizzlies, Pelicans etc. - should be a 5 or 6 seed in the West.

Potential lineups: Sixers: Lillard-Curry-Thybulle/Green-Harris-Embiid

Twolves: Rubio/Russell-Russell/Edwards-Edwards/Okogie-Simmons-Towns

Blazers: Maxey-McCollum-Beasley-McDaniels-Nurkic (this would still be a respectable roster to throw out but obviously if Dame leaves then Powell, Covington, McCollum and Nurkic will all be sold during the season to contenders for young assets/draft capital)
