There are many problems with Simmon's offense, but I would definitely trade KP for him. KP is a better player than he showed and I think KP can be an all star but Simmons and the Sixers in general had a bad matchup. The Sixers are tall, the Hawks are short and fast. Simmons at 6'11" cannot guard 6'1' Trae Young. Embiid at 7'0' 280 lbs cannot guard the super athletic Collins who is 6'9". This was a series where shooting/quickness overcame power. Simmons reminds me a lot of Scottie Pippen with a worse shot but better assist numbers. Despite one bad series against a bad matchup I would definitely trade for Simmons and use him as a small/power forward. He would work really well with shooters like Markannen and THJ. He is also 24 years old.
