If Simmons gets traded to Sacramento to "form a big three" with Fox and Haliburton or to Minnesota and form a big three with Edwards and Towns, do you see those two teams become playoff contenders?
I think that would be a big addition for both teams, for sure. And I also believe it would elevate them into playoff contention on paper. But to be honest, I also think the issues in Sacramento and Minnesota run deeper than the players on the floor. They've had top young talent for a while and still find ways to lose.
BTW, I also suspect that Minnesota would prefer to give up Edwards before DLo. That would be a moronic basketball decision, of course. But DLo's relationship with Simmons is one of the primary reasons that they're on his radar at all.
