They really screwed themselves letting it get this far.  SHould have just moved him as soon as they could and got max return for him.  Now I'd just wait until someone else decides they want out of their current situation.  THat way they can recover some of the contract with fines and then still get something in value in return.  

Malcolm Brogdon, Caris Levert, and Chris Duarte for Ben Simmons and Tyrese Maxey. 

That's a pretty fair deal for both sides. 

Philly: Brogdon - Green - LeVert - Harris - Embiid

Indy: Maxey - Lamb - Simmons - Sabonis - Turner

It's not a fair deal really, but that may be one of the better offers for Philly.  But with the reports that the offer is around Levert, I am guessing it won't include Brogdon too.  Based on other offers out there, Philly isn't going to get much in return.

Why do you keep throwing Maxey in all of these deals? Is it just because he's another Klutch client?

LeVert is only making $17.5M this year and the Pacers are already way over the cap. So they're going to have to include other players to make it work financially.

If you quit throwing in Maxey then Indiana can make it work financially with Brogdon (borderline All-Star), Duarte (plug and play wing), and Isaiah Jackson (high potential project).

Indiana has a lot of midrange contracts. Warren and Lamb could be involved. Trading Turner to a 3rd team like you suggested also makes sense. They have good pieces and options.

Picks would have to be involved...

Hornets receive: Myles Turner, Danny Green

76ers receive: Malcolm Brogdon, Gordon Hayward, Chris Duarte, Miles Bridges

Pacers receive: Ben Simmons, Furkan Korkmaz, Jaden Springer

 

Looks like an awful trade for Charlotte.  That would be elite return for Simmons IMO but doubt anyone other than Philly would agree to this.

Not sure Rich Paul is going to want Maxey in Philly though.

Remove Bridges and it's a solid deal for them. They just traded for Mason Plumlee and drafted Kai Jones but they've lacked a good starting 5 for years. Gordon Hayward is going to be 32 and hasn't been able to stay healthy for years plus they just drafted Bouknight/signed Oubre and already have Miles Bridges and PJ Washington. I think Turner would fit really well with their group as a floor spacing/rim protecting big.

That package would work but at that point they're more or less swapping Simmons for Brogdon. We have no idea if Jackson/Duarte are good.

I mean, yeah. It's like trading for 1sts. Just depends on how Philadelphia views those 2. How about this...

Indiana receives: Ben Simmons, Drew Eubanks

Philadelphia receives: Malcolm Brogdon, Thaddeus Young, Isaiah Jackson

San Antonio receives: Myles Turner

For Philadelphia I just don't really see the appeal of adding more combo forwards, they need guards/playmakers/shooters.
