Colin Cowherd: “I’m getting all this stuff about a trade with Dame for Ben Simmons. STOP IT. Think about what Dame gives you and why he’s loved in Portland – leadership, elite scorer, shot maker, sacrifices, great locker room guy, and best friends with guard CJ McCollum who has his same game, and he could have resented that. NONE of that Ben Simmons has. Ben Simmons is the opposite of Dame – afraid to shoot, bad teammate, moody, and he couldn’t even get along with Embiid, who played a different position…
...THERE’S A PERFECT TRADE PARTNER. Boston is falling into that ‘desperate’ situation. Go to Boston and say you want three first-round picks, Jaylen Brown, and Marcus Smart. If you have Jayson Tatum and Lillard you didn’t really need picks. What you then need is a veteran willing to play less, a big, and you can win a championship. Portland will be significantly better the next hour when they get Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, and CJ McCollum coming back next. You get significantly better when you can get two guys who can cover all these guards in the West. You get offense, you get smart, you get veterans, you get defense, that’s fantastic. In the West, you gotta be able to defend wings and guards. Now you get better defensively, you get more depth in the backcourt, you get draft picks, and Boston gets what they want. Boston is in the championship NOW if they get Dame.” (Full Video Above)
