If Portland wants to compete, Philly is the most logical partner. Simmons for Dame makes sense for both and Portland would get further assets. Simmons-CJ-Powell-RoCo would be a great starting four. Problem is the fifth member, as Nurkic just doesn't fit with Simmons. Stretch big would be needed and KP could be a great final member of the starting unit. So how about Nurkic, DJJ and RoCo for KP and Kleber. Salary cap would remain a problem for Portland. Mavs would keep space to sign a secondary playmaker like Conley.
Luka, Conley, DFS, RoCo, Nurkic vs Simmons, CJ, Powell, Kleber, KP
Yeah but why make Portland better and us worse?
If we can get Conley, we would have a starting 5 of
Conley,DFS,*,Luka,KP and can choose between THJ, Brunson, Maxi, Dwight to be *.
