RE: Simmons Value

Look at it this way. How much was Harden worth when he was threatening to walk from BRK? 

If he was worth 4 1sts, then we can deduce that Simmons is worth one 1st because he came along with two 1sts and Curry (worth another 1st). 

If you think Harden was worth 5 1sts, then we can deduce that Simmons was worth two 1sts.

If you think a threatening to walk Harden was worth 3 1sts, then we can deduce that Simmons was worth zero 1sts. 


And THAT was this past spring. THEN Simmons never played AND had back surgery, so his value likely dropped another notch. 

Point being: I personally think Simmons is currently worth one 1st at most.

To take what you’re saying at face value. We assume Simmons is only worth 1 FRP. 

To dump/trade THJ, some have argued would take a pick; and after Powell’s playoff stint, even with an expiring contract, he would need an asset (pick) attached.

So it would seem that both you and @"omahen" are closer than you think, that a trade of THJ+Powell+3 FRPs is close to being ‘equal value’
