I like adik's idea with the Sixers considering their pieces
Phi-Por-sac
Portland gets Noel, Collison and pick#4
Collison
Matthews/ Afflalo
Johnson(draft)/ Batum
Aldridge
Noel
Sac gets Embiid, free land and wroten
Wroten
Mclemore/ Sauce
Gay
WCS
Embiid
Sixers get Cousins and Lilliard
Would attract FA but I won't put them in
Lilliard
Thompson/ Robinson
Saric
Covington
Cousins

That's a tough sell for philly. Cousins is lazy on defense and frankly has an attitude issue. However. Offensively he's one of the most gift big men in the league. And lillard is an map calaber guard. If I'm philly is have to do those deals.

Philly would be on that instantly. Other teams Prob wouldn't. I have to watch cousins games more. I hear hea terrible on defense yet averages like 2 blocks and 1.5 steals per game. So not sure what I'm missing. Offensively though. An absolute beast. No maybe about it, best offensive center in the league.

How does Portland get the #4 pick when it belongs to the Lakers?
Are you suggesting the Sixers trade Embiid, Noel, Wroten and the #3 pick and get back Cousins and Lilliard?
I like both those guys. But the Sixers are looking for a more traditional PG, not necessarily a 20PPG guy.
In addition, that puts a great deal of the franchise's emphasis on Cousins. We've done this before, more than once, with Ruland and Bynum, for example. Since we already have the big guys, why mess with it?

Pizza. Cousin is a great player. But lack that great player mind and attitude. Offensively he's there most games.
Defense it's all about effort and attitude. When he tries for spurt during the game he's excellent. That's where his blocks and steals come from. But other times he just stand flat footed. I think he rest on defense. But that kills the team when your interior defender is resting half the game.
I'd still take him though. It's a lot to give up but you get a ton. Lillards a great player. Haven't wached him a ton though. But what I see is an excellent player. He makes this deal easy for me.

Basically it's cousins for embiid and some role players. I'd prefer cousins. Proven. Attitude yes but from he info that's leaked, embiid is a prima Donna as well. Again I'd take the proven elite center that stays healthy. Sac wouldn't make this move.

Philadelphia fans here are terrible, you are passing on Lillard-Cousins duo? those are young superstars in the making. Already proven.

Pizza. You can't trust the media in philly. They have to make stories, since the team doesn't say a word to anyone. It's an extremely tempting trade and would definately jump start the rebuild. Plus we should sign at least one more free agent with that core.

Tregib, it's not media driven stories. He has had issues with conditioning coaches at college and pro level. Thus leading to numerous injuries and weight issues. He seems to care more about Twitter and being funny and doing slams in warm ups than doing his job as a pro. While not a major liability, he does have a bit of an attitude, injury prone and no proven worth as of yet.
