I'm applying aloe after my post-game glee/hot take.Would make Powell work a lot better in Portland too. Only issue is that you get a bit clogged with Nurkic+Simmons.
I love Simmons, and I think he'll fetch a decent player, now that Philly is almost guaranteed to move him. But you need a really specific crunch-time lineup around him to maximize what he does.
How much has Simmons value cratered? I still love him also but Doc didn't do the team any favors. OKC should stick their nose in here and get a 3-way going. Ben needs 2 seasons of 3PA on an NBA floor with zero pressure/expectations.
I wonder if Simmons could play Point Center, surrounded by four 3&D wings to lessen the clog.
