-------------------------Warriors Rebuild-------------------------
Trade 1:
Warriors Receive: Joel Embiid
Sixers Receive: Klay Thompson, Alen Smailagic and Warriors 2020 1st round pick
Trade 2:
Warriors Receive: Robert Covington, Josh Okogie and Shabazz Napier
Timberwolves Receive: Draymond Green and Jordan Poole
Sign:
Andre Iguodala - 1yr/Min
Alec Burks - 2yrs/MLE
Team:
Curry, DLo, Okogie, Covington, Embiid
Napier, Burks, Iggy, Paschall, Looney
Evans, Lee, WCS
Sixers do this if they fail to reach the finals again. Embiid and Simmons may prove to be incompatible and Sixers may choose to cash in on one of them. If the Warriors offer Klay and the 1st, the offer may be too good to turn down, Smailagic appears to have some upside as well. Klay would be a great fit for the Sixers and would open up space for Simmons to attack the rim. Simmons, JRich, Klay, Harris and Horford would be a fun lineup and great on both ends. Warriors pair up the best post player and the best perimeter player in the league. Embiid would also be great on the PnR with both Curry and DLo. GS then surrounds those players with 3 and D wings.
TWolves do this as Draymond gives them much needed leadership, defense and playmaking. Warriors do this as Dray may not be the best fit with Embiid. GS gets an elite perimeter defender in Covington and a much needed backup PG in Napier as well as a useful young role-player in Okogie who could improve.
These trades make the league more fun and improve each team (at least in terms of fit) imo.

That’s not getting you Embiid.

Covington’s three point shooting, and contract, fits MIN better than Draymond Green. I haven’t watched Green’s Defense this year, but Covington was also named a 1st team All Defense guy. RoCo is also KAT’s best friend on the team.
I think MIN says no.

No chance I’d trade a top 5 pick and Thompson for Embiid.
Same with trading draymond for that little.
Seems really bad for GS short and long term.

Doubt GS trades Thompson and top 4 lottery pick for Embiid.
Mights get DLo and a 2020 draft pick swap.

Embiid > thompson
Covington > Green.

Embiid better than Thompson individually but Klay and the top 4 pick is better especially GS style.
