76ers Starters: Dame, Curry, Thybulle, Harris, Embiid
Bench: Hill, Milton, Green (resign) Korkmaz, Howard (resign)
Blazers Starters: McCollum, Powell, Covington, Simmons, Nurkic
Bench: Maxey, Simons, DJJ, Melo, Kanter
The 76ers upgrade (if they don't at least make the ECF). They'd have two top 10 players and still would have a very good defense with Matisse still on the team.
The Blazers can surround Simmons with shooters. He would operate and facilitate as the PG, but would "play" and defend the 4. In small-ball lineups, with Simmons at the 5, Covington at the 4, and either Melo or DJJ, at the 3, the Blazers could still be very good. The team's defense would improve, and good three point shooters (McCollum, Powell, and Covington) would all see a lot more open looks. If I was the Blazers, I would look to somehow, someway bring in either Male Turner or Al Horford. They would both be GREAT 5 options next to Simmons.
