I wonder, if it was permissible under NBA rules, if Brooklyn would offer Durant + Simmons for Tatum.
I bet they would. And, I think the Celtics would turn it down. There's a universe where that trade makes the Celtics substantially better in the short-term, but there's just way too much risk.
Horford / Timelord
Simmons / Gallinari
Durant / Williams
Brown / White
Smart / Brogdon / Pritchard
If that team reached its full potential and stayed healthy, it could realistically go Fo-Fo-Fo-Fo.
