Because 1) POR is bad at defense. 2) Simmons is good at defense.
Not rocket science.
If only the NBA was as simple as that.
Sure they desperately need defense. But POR also had an issue being 1 dimensional on offense and relying on Lillard to steal games for them. Ben will help their defense for sure, but it'll cost them their 1 other consistent scorer and creator to do it and doing so will tire them out of assets.
It's an all-in move that comes with a huge downside and even less flexibility than just standing pat.
