Acceptable deals for Walls and Porzingis
As many others did, I immediately rejected the idea that there could be an acceptable deal swapping Ben Simmons for John Wall or Kristaps Porzingis. Then, I decided to check to see what such deals might look like. I first looked at the Wall deal, assuming it had to be much more than a straight up swap.
