Philadelphia 76ers Receive: G Damian Lillard and 2025 first-round pick
Portland Trail Blazers Receive: F Ben Simmons, G Shake Milton, F Paul Reed, 2021 first-round pick, 2023 first-round pick, 2023 second-round pick, and 2024 second-round pick
Once again, Damian Lillard would be an ideal trade candidate due to what he brings to a team.
The six-time All-Star is one of the best shooters at the point guard position, and he’s a willing passer despite his scoring abilities, evidenced by his career average of 6.6 assists per game.
The possibilities would be endless with a starting lineup that features Lillard, Curry, Tobias Harris, and Embiid. This time around in the NBA trade scenario, instead of Maxey, the 76ers deal Shake Milton and Paul Reed, along with Simmons, to the Trail Blazers.
Portland would also get Philadelphia’s first-round picks in 2021 and 2023, and two future second-round picks. Simmons, who turns 25 years old on July 20th, still has plenty of room for growth as a scorer. But it will be up to Simmons and the coaching staff to reach his potential on the offensive end.

Milton is a streaky scorer that does well in a sixth-man role. Lastly, Reed is a young power forward that could possibly carve out a decent-sized role on the roster in due time.
