What do you mean not moving one of ours? We'd be moving $177m over the next 5 years for Simmons.
Also, Barnes is on a de-escalating contract. He'd be incredibly easy to flip.
But Fox is going to get the same contract as Simmons, well now a little cheaper after Simmons got 3rd team all nba. And then you’re adding Barnes for 3 years (didn’t realize it was declining contract) but still 22, 20, 18.
So moving Simmons for soon to be equal contract in fox and adding 20 million Barnes to payroll on top of embiid, Harris, horford.
I don’t hate it, just think I’d want pick 12 if I’m taking Barnes. We could then with a little sweetener get into Devin Vassell territory.
