Sixers would surely hate an Embiid,
Simmons and CJ McCollum Big 3. 

What the hell? I thought this had to be a parody account at first, there's simply no way my eyes could deceive me like this. But alas, an account with nearly 40K followers, put this out for public consumption, and get this...people agreed all throughout the comments. 

Surely, there has to be some type of catch? Tobias must be on a great, team friendly contract that would allow the Blazers more cap flexibility and the ability to sign some ancillary pieces to put around Dame! 

Oh wait, shit that can't be right...but it's not like CJ is on any better of a contract though, right? Hold up, he's signed for one more year at 29M? Now that can't be true.

What about Rodney Hood though? He's coming off a career year and is a rising star in the league, you've got to give him his shot to shine. Wait...wait, i'm just receiving news...NONE of that is true AND that he TORE HIS ACHILLES this season? It's a good thing guards, especially those who play for the Blazers, are notoriously strong coming back from those pesky things. 

Look, i'm not against trading McCollum but trading him AND a lottery pick for a player on what is seen as an albatross of a contract...just because he plays a different position is bananaland. Hell, trading McCollum for a forward is probably the right line of thinking...1 legged Rodney Hood and budget J. Cole ain't the way to compensate for that loss though.
