Well Chuck tried to eat himself out of getting drafted by the 76ers.

You can't stop what's coming

quote:

Lillard intends to give the Trail Blazers organization time to find its next leader of basketball operations. But beyond the front office component, the face of the franchise still wants significant changes to the roster. Multiple sources have told The Athletic that Lillard would like to play with Philadelphia 76ers three-time All-Star Ben Simmons. The Trail Blazers’ league-worst defense would instantly improve, and sharing a backcourt with a non-shooter could work given Lillard’s high-volume usage.

Sources say the Trail Blazers, under Olshey, discussed the framework of a trade for Simmons, moving CJ McCollum, a first-round draft pick and a young player such as Nassir Little or Anfernee Simons to Philadelphia. The 76ers, sources said, at one point asked the Trail Blazers for McCollum and multiple draft picks and multiple draft swaps, which Portland rejected. Olshey maintained significant confidence in the roster he constructed. Now, it’s unclear if there’s a deal to be had with the 76ers. But with Olshey out, who among chair Jody Allen, vice chair Bert Kolde and Cronin would be the one making the call on a Simmons trade or any acquisition designed to alleviate Lillard’s concerns?

If you want to know what Lillard thinks you have to listen to his album. It's the perfect cross sell opportunity

Might not be a real soon thing. The Raptors wanted to keep Sam Dekker and probably would have benefitted from his shooting, but he was cut to get under the luxury tax threshold. With Dragic's big fat contract just sitting there to be bought out, that would be consistent with the Raptors wanting to hold him for trade purposes. Presumably more as trade ballast than talent, given that his play has been so bad his spot on the depth chart is behind the guy behind a raw, 2nd round pick rookie.

Galaxy brain trade Embiid for Dame with the understanding that this will fix Ben's mental and he'll start playing again.

I don't know if it is fair to say his play has gotten that bad. He played one game this season and had a decent one. I think they are just prioritizing developing someone that will be there next season.

In the sense that you can’t win anything when your best player is a bottom 5 defender every year this is true.
