...needing that big wing to guard Durant, LeBron, Kawhhi, whatever, in the West...there are worse options in this world than trying Ben Simmons in that role.
Trying him at $35-40 million is the issue. If the Nets would eat Bertans AND send assets back, I could get on board. It would open up avenues to other deals using those assets.
It would also lock Cuban (assuming a Kyrie extension) into a LT mess for the next few years which would be the #1 reason I don't see it being within the realm of possibilities.
If the Nets are throwing assets in with him, dealing him to Utah is a lot cleaner for BRK but they would have to deal with Ainge ripping their guts out.
