The Sixers must move Simmons, full stop. KP, Siakam and McCollum all make sense here.
The Mavs, if Stephen A Smith is to be believed, have to move KP to keep Luka happy. Siakam, McCollum and Simmons all make sense here.
The Blazers have to do something different to keep Lillard happy. They won't trade Dame so McCollum has to go. Siakam, KP and Simmons all make sense here.
And the Raptors have Dragic who has said publicly he doesn't want to be there and Siakam who is disgruntled. McCollum doesn't really work here, but KP and Simmons both make a lot of sense.
If there was any serious thought of moving KP, it should have been done before free agency. Holmes was one of the best deals out there. We could of had him for 13 mil, which makes tons of sense with no KP. I think they are going to give it a year with a new coach to see if they can make it work (and if nothing else, boost his value). And Dragic just apologized to Toronto fans. I'm afraid the most likely outcome is that we walk into the season with this shit show constructed roster as is.
