This would be more suited for T&T board mate.
But to answer the question, Dallas would be nuts to offer that. Doncic is just as good a prospect, and is much cheaper for the next few years

Not only they would swap Simmons for Doncic, they would probably also swap Embiid for Doncic.

Doncic is younger, cheaper and a better player with a whole continent full of fans.

Yes and that would be a a quick decision. No doubts about that.

I don’t know if they would but they sure should.

Hell no, other than shooting beyond the keyway, Simmons is better than Doncic at close to everything.

Younger player, with more potential and several years before an extension. Even more important, he's about the perfect fit next to Embiid. Also, you can argue that Doncic is already better than Simmons.

Re: Would 76ers swap Simmons for Doncic if they could?
The big advantage of Simmons is that he is a point guard tall as a power forward, but once you create Embiid-Horford-Harris frontcourt lineup that is not so important, and after all, Luka is also tall for PG standards. This is a no-brainer, with Doncic able to play next two seasons under a rookie contract. Sixers should offer Simmons for Kemba or Fox if Celtics and Kings want to add some interesting 6th man option in Philadelphia (Bogdanovic?) or 2020 1st round pick.

This thread rapidly changes if Simmons outside game emerges this season

Let's not go crazy. Embiid's on a higher level.

Dallas would need to throw in Cuban’s net worth

Re: Would 76ers swap Simmons for Doncic if they could?
I am no big fun of Simmons and Doncic is possibly the better fit for the Sixers but Doncic has become a bit overrated here. Was his rookie season better than Simmons? i am not so sure. Being a high usage player in a lottery team is not some legendary accomplishment, although it is still impressive for a rookie.
People keep mentioning Simmons shooting but Doncic's athleticism is not going to magically improve either, so its not only Simmons that has certain limitations in his game. Furthermore 3 point shooting is an important skill for everyone to have but it is much more important for the roleplayers that play off ball than the on ball players (unless they are able to shoot 3s off the dribble with a defender on them). A large part of the criticism Simmons faces comes from the fact that he plays with a better player in Embiid so his lack of shooting is emphasized more. If he were the best player on the team with the corresponding usage, i have a feeling that people would hold a much more favorable view of Simmons, probably more favorable than Doncic.

These Doncic fans better learn to crawl before they walk. Worry about whether Dallas would swap Doncic for Trae Young.
