I was going to a lot more in-depth analysis of this trade, but what’s the point...

Boston uses their TPE to get deeper and better defensively.

Philly becomes the favorites to come out of the east. Lillard and Embiid is a filthy combo. Simmons and Embiid didn’t work out, and NO! Don’t say “iT’s NoT tOo LaTe”. Simmons as the starting PG and Embiid as the starting C will never be able to win a championship, no matter how much spacing you but next to them.

Portland catapults themselves into a rebuilding/reloading period with a boatload of assets.

Golden State gets better, better enough to compete for a title next year? Probably not...
