If I was Nico, I’d cut Portland out of the deal and offer Brunson/THJ/Maxi. IMHO, that’s also a good offer and would let us build a true big-3 of Luka/Simmons/KP.
Maybe I'm misreading the market but I don't see Morey making that deal. Granted, RoCo's minutes are down so maybe that explains some of his dip in production but he's shooting some of the worst percentages of his career. He just turned 31 so he's not that old. If I were dealing with Dallas and Portland, I'd want DFS over RoCo at this point in their careers. Maxi might be more attractive than Nurk (healthier? Under contract longer. Can space the floor and play D. Will not be looking to start).
While we know he's aiming for a Lillard-like return for Simmons and probably will not get that, I'm not sure a pu pu platter of role players is going to get it done. I guess you could throw in picks from Dallas/Portland but I'm not sure how attractive that is either for a team looking to win now. And if it does come to a pu pu platter, maybe the price is helping the 76ers get off of Harris contract.
