I think Bill Simmons put it well on a recent podcast. Philly knows PDX has probably already offered CJ + for Ben Simmons. They'll probably sit on that offer for awhile, trying to get something better, or hoping Dame wants out. I doubt trades involving any of these guys will happen for awhile.

BCR, yeah you gotta hope Houston doesnt deal. If they stay put, seems like a good chance Mobley falls to 3. If I was Houston, I'd still take him, who cares if he's slightly redundant with Wood. Collect the best ballplayers and then figure it out.
Probably true, but Dame put Neil on the clock.

Agree that Ben Simmons isn't happening. I knew immediately when both CJ and Stotts got re-upped after making it to the WCF (and getting bodied by a Warriors team without Durant) that it was over.

Probably means one more year of 6-7 seed, with Dame saying adios and getting less back. Or something midseason if they come out flat.
