Reading through again, I think the only place I disagree with you is that I don't believe BRK's thinking on Simmons will have anything to do with his value (I don't think they'll move him or hold him based on that) but everything to do with the Durant situation. That's all.
They will get the most favorable outcome possible in whatever deal they include him in, for sure, and sure, that might put him out of reach for Dallas.
The Durant situation is tough as it's impossible to get back his on court value and his preferred teams aren't going to want to gut themselves to do it and it would change Kevin's desire to play there in the first place. The secondary pieces that would come back might be viewed less desirably than Ben and could be routed to a third team as well. It just depends how the Nets view Simmons I guess.
I still think it's in everyone's best interest to get that band back together again but I'm not sure anyone is willing to swallow their pride.
