There will be cap space teams in the summer able to take Simmons for a couple of picks without sending salary back. There are no such teams now. Sure Morey would prefer to do the deal now, but he can also wait. Nets have same dilemma. Sell Harden now and get something or risk losing him in summer for nothing. That would be devastating for them.
I didn't think of using picks they acquired from a Simmons trade. I guess I can see that.
I just am not sure OKC is going to take on that big contract for picks. They already have all the picks. Harris would really limit their flexibility.
Maybe I am wrong, but I think it would cost Philly substantially more than picks. Now maybe there is another lower tier team who may want picks to take on Harris. Not sure who though.
