POR/PHI blockbuster

POR get Markelle Fultz, Dario Saric, Jerryd Bayless & LAL pick 2018 (if BOS gets this, they trade own pick & 2 2nd round picks or maybe 2020 1st own)

draft Kevin Knox & Khyri Thomas

Pg Fultz/Bayless/Thomas
Sg McCollum/Connaughton
Sf Harkless/Knox/Turner
Pf Saric/Aminu/Swanigan
Ce Nurkic/Collins

PHI get Damian Lillard & Myers Leonard

long shot but sign Paul George 2yr max with 2nd yr player option
sign Avery Bradley 3yr/42mil
resign Johnson & Bellineli

Pg Lillard/McConnell
Sg Bradley/Bellineli
Sf George/Covington/Luwawu
Pf Simmons/Leonard
Ce Embiid/Johnson/Holmes

POR isn't going anywhere but a mediocre western team, they cannot compete now with the heavyweights and should just rebuild with young guys

for PHI, it's time to take the process to the next level, getting all stars to pair with their young combo of Simmons and Embiid would be scary. With LeBron's future not sure in Cleveland (he's aging too), maybe it will be a toss between Celtics and Sixers in the East for the next few years

It's not terrible, Saric is a bonus, pick is quality.

Tha Philly team is scary

But Portland had a bad history with injuries. (Walton, S bowie, G Oden, B Roy) . i'm not sure they should take the risk.

Theoretically, if they could land Lilliard and keep a max open, I don't see how there would be a better option for Lebron than Philly. Put Lebron and Lillard next to Covington, Simmons, Embiid, plus the Sixers bench and some shooters and that team has a good chance at beating the Warriors.

One thing to note: that pick would have to be set. The trade couldn’t happen until after the lottery, so they would know if they had the pick or not.

I just don’t see any value in Fultz, that’s my problem with this trade. At this point, he’s broken. The reports about him would absolutely scare me away from him.

This seems like more of a package for McCollum. And that would be incredibly interesting for both teams I think.

Fultz is a big time bust but time will tell.
