Biggest concern with Simmons is that he likes to play fast. Pushes the pace whenever he can. Most of that is because he can't play in a half court setting.
Clashes badly with Luka's preferences right off the bat there.
And you have to ask...How will Simmons take being 2nd banana and never being able to bring up the ball to initiate the offense? (I mean he could, but would we ever want him over Luka doing that? I sure won't).
Still, like everyone said his defense, switchability, and passing makes him an attractive piece.
My 2cents are that we find a way to wrangle in the Wolves and ship Simmons there while the Mavs grab D'Lo.
