Bleacher report actually suggested this mess of a trade...

76ers get Damian Lillard and Bradley Beal

Nets get De'Aron Fox, KCP, and a 2023 second round pick from the 76ers

Trailblazers get Ben Simmons, Harrison Barnes, Seth Curry, a 2022 first round pick and a 2023 first round pick swap from the 76ers

Wizards get CJ McCollum, Buddy Hield, Tyrese Maxey, a 2024 first round pick from the 76ers, and a 2024 first round pick from the Kings

Kings get Kyrie Irving, Tobias Harris, Nassir Little, a 2026 first round pick from the 76ers, and a 2022 second round pick from the Nets

This might just be the worst trade idea I've ever seen. Someone at BleacherReport needs to get fired for this. Most people on this site could post a more sensible trade. The trailblazers get absolutely robbed, that package wouldn't be enough for just Dame. They're supposed to give up Dame and CJ? Lmao. The Kings also get robbed, especially considering that Kyrie would retire before playing in Sacramento. Who else is annoyed that something like this could be published by a major outlet like BR?

Also how do the wizards get a better package for Beal than the Blazers get for Dame and CJ? Just an awful trade on so many levels.

The 76ers aren't getting Dame for Simmons let alone Beal as well.

I saw this earlier and thought “this is a bad return for Dame”, then realized they give up CJ and Little too. So terrible.

I’d give up CJ and Little for Simmons. So Portland gets curry, Barnes, and a first for Dame? That’s hilariously bad.

@JJ they're giving up a lot more than just Ben though, but yea this trade is absolute dog water. BR should be ashamed of themselves. Also, this trade makes sense for the Nets but why would they want to help Philly make a Embiid/ Dame/ Beal big 3? That would be a serious threat to them in the east.

BR has no shame. they just count clicks.
