Complete the Process!!!!!

Philly 76ers Offseason:

1. Trade: Fultz, Bayless, Lakers 2018 1st, Philly 2018 1st for CJ McCollum

2. Sign Lebron James 2yrs/60M
3. Sign Paul George 2yrs/60M
4. Sign KCP 1yr/12M
5. Sign Corey Joseph 1yr/8M
6. Sign Dedmon and Frye bot 1yr/Min

Team:

PG - Simmons, Joseph, McConell
SG - McCollum, KCP, TLC
SF - George, Covington, Anderson
PF - Lebron, Saric, Frye
C - Embiid, Dedmon, Holmes

Philly complete the process and go all in! Philly could have 5 all-star caliber players in Lebron, George, McCollum, Simmons and Embiid plus a decent bench

Blazers are desperate for cap relief, their payroll for next season is $112 Million guaranteed for only 9 players. McCollum is only realistic trade option for Portland. Sixers send Fultz who is still very talented, Lakers 2018 lottery pick and Philly's own 1st. Philly may need to add Saric to sweeten the deal if Blazers are stubborn. Philly may target Beal or Oladipo with a similar trade package if unable to get McCollum. If unable to get any, sign Avery Bradley.

Philly could also do a S/T involving Covington to OKC for Paul George to get more cap relief if needed.

Philly cap off an amazing summer by adding Corey Joseph, a lock down 3 and D PG who will run the second unit. KCP would be great to offer more shooting and defense off the bench

Just the 3 stars you have coming in put the 76ers close to the cap. They have room for a little over a max and they would have to get rid of Bayless and Covington just to get close to two max contracts. Rather than McCollum, they maybe able to make Lebron and George fit if they traded for Walker, but even then the numbers would be tight and they would probably have to get Lebron or George to sign and then s and t for the other before they traded for Walker.

Yeah, I realize Philly would struggle to pay for all those guys. On second thought maybe the Sixers don't need Paul George if they get McCollum. Covington gives you what you would want from George defensively and McCollum can put up buckets. George would also take shots away from Simmons and Embiid. This team would definitely win the East and trouble Warriors/ Rockets with size and versatility. Starters could easily average about 100 points per game (Lebron 25ppg, McCollum 25ppg, Embiid 20, Simmons 20 and Covington 10)
