Who is this mystery team…?
Any team that Fisher failed to mention and trade for him. I just think it is a way to cover all ground.

I think Lilliard is a long shot, but I do think Beal could be interesting if Washington gets off to a slow start. Washington made a lot of moves and they clearly think of themselves as a playoff team. I could see them as a 6-7 seed, but I can also things getting really bad. I could see Simmons as an attractive target if Washington decides to blow things up. Although, other teams may have younger, cheaper assets that Washington may value more.
I think this is the main problem with Simmons is whether or not he is attractive for a team blowing it up?
Usually teams like that wants a really young player (19-24) in his rookie contract and draft compensation to help during there early tanking process.
Simmons is a huge contract and a player who is at start of his prime (he is 25) so he is more in the "win now" mode.
A young team that wants to improve and see the playoff could have a use of him, teams like the Cavs, Kings, Wolves probably feels the window to get a franchise player is closed anyway and it is time to at least be good team, Pistons and Rockets probably feels they have a young franchise player and they want to speed their process.
I just don't think he is what a team like Wizards will want unless they want to continue to be playoffs.
