NBA blockbuster trade ideas: Ben Simmons for CJ McCollum
I may be completely wrong on this one and maybe this is not even a swap that has been talked about or thought of, but I firmly believe this is likely the move that has the best chance of taking pace this season – a swap of Ben Simmons for CJ McCollum between the Philadelphia 76ers and Portland Trail Blazers.
Simmons would get the fresh start that he desires next to Damian Lillard, the Blazers would get a fresh star in their system, and the Sixers would get a dynamic offensive-minded backcourt star that they need.
There are certainly many more moving parts that will need to happen to make such a deal work, but it’s certainly an interesting swap that actually makes a lot of sense if we really think about it.
