The official start to the NBA offseason is still a few weeks away, but that has not prevented speculation surrounding a potential deal that includes Sixers wing Ben Simmons and Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum. Both the Blazers and Sixers exited the postseason in a less-than-ideal fashion, which could lead to significant changes in the near future.
In regards to a Blazers-Sixers deal that centers around McCollum and Simmons, CNBC’s Jabari Young explained that Portland might expect more than just a straight-across swap.
Other rumors suggest Portland’s CJ McCollum could be traded to the Sixers during the offseason to help alleviate the Trail Blazers’ problems.
