Blazers-Sixers-Pistons trade:

Blazers get:
Jerami Grant
Ben Simmons

Sixers get:
CJ McCollum
Hamidou Diallo
2024 FRP Detroit Top 10 protected
2023 FRP Portland Top 5 protected

Pistons get:
Robert Covington
Anfernee Simons
Nassir Little
2 second round picks from Portland

Blazers:
They become true contenders with one of the best defensive frontcourts while not losing much defense. CJ's shot creation is more than replaced by Grant and Simmons, and they do not lose a lot of depth. This would be the best Portland team in awhile.

Sixers:
They get a young player who averaged double digits in Hamidou Diallo, two firsts, and a very good fit in CJ McCollum. They won't get their superstar, but this return is great for them, and they can use their two first round picks for more depth.

Pistons:
They get a lot of young talent in return for Grant, and Robert Covington if they wish to be competitive as well. They give up a protected first, but they get two seconds in return, and if they don't make the playoffs, chances are they keep the pick.

A lot of young talent to Detroit? Where? Lmao why would a rebuilding team trade a 1st round pick and get worse players in return.

They get two second round picks in return for a pick that will most likely go back to them if they are still rebuilding by then, since it is top 10 protected. By 2024, Detroit could be a contender. Roco can provide 70% of the defense of Grant, and can most likely be swapped for a first. Little has the potential to be as good, if not better than Grant, and Simons averaged great numbers for a 22 year old.

Nah. Not advisable to trade assets if you are rebuilding unless you are getting huge return. This is a meh return for Detroit, they say no. In fact, they can get more than this for Grant alone.

Brutally bad trade for the Pistons.

The value is off, but the framework could be moved around maybe?

Portland gets Simmons and Grant

Phili gets McCollum and RoCo

Detroit gets Simons, Maxey, Little, Portland first

It probably depends on how people see Maxey and Simons. I think Simons on Detroit could break out to being a ~20 ppg scorer.

Bad thing is all the youth they’re getting will be guards when they already have Cade and Hayes. So 2 will be on bench all times.

Cade’s 6’8, just make him slide to SF.

And if you’re trading for Simons and Maxey, I’d assume the expectation is that maybe 1 pops and is a starting caliber player.

i would rather keep Grant and Diallo. they are better than any of the names we would be "trading them for" and if we are just "going young" then why trade a 1st round pick and get 2 second round picks back? whoever made this trade suggestion does not like the Pistons. i cannot smile at you or take you seriously.
