We're going to give up all our best assets for a guy that doesn't care enough to try to improve his game? A guy on a massive max extension that is afraid to shoot and will be left wide open in the playoffs? A guy that thinks he's a point guard and will surely start to pout when Luka takes most of the ball handling duties? I don't want a guy that has demonstrated he will take his ball and go home if he gets his feelings hurt or isn't happy about his role. All you people fantasizing about Simmons as a small ball 5 are going to be in for a rude awakening when he gets here and refuses to do that. There's no way a prima donna like Simmons will sacrifice his ego to become a roll man and put his body on the line to set hard picks. Please, Nico, don't fall for it. You can't fix a guy like Simmons.
I'd be concerned if we were giving up someone special in their own way but no I see little risk here.
Either it works and we end up in the Finals a few times, or we end up at basically the same place we would have continuing this route
