Philadelphia 76ers Receive: G CJ McCollum, F Robert Covington
Portland Trail Blazers Receive: F Tobias Harris, F Furkan Korkmaz, G Isaiah Joe, Two Second Round Picks
In order to land a talent like CJ McCollum, the Philadelphia 76ers would need to be willing to part with a key piece of their own to appeal to the Portland Trail Blazers enough to accept a deal.
Ben Simmons for CJ McCollum has been a long discussed hypothetical NBA trade scenario but if both teams felt great about that idea, it likely would have happened by now.
Instead, the 76ers would send Tobias Harris to the Trail Blazers in this one. Along with Harris, it would be Furkan Korkmaz, Isaiah Joe, and a pair of second round picks headed to Portland.
Along with McCollum, the Trail Blazers would part with Robert Covington, who is on the final-year of his current contract.
