Seems like it's a lot of the same people (not you, HiRez) who complained that we couldn't develop players who are so certain we should bring in Simmons (and, presumably, "fix" him).
Great question.
Assuming Simmons can only attain marginal improvement in his free throw shooting over the next few seasons, but still has a below-the-bar outside shot and mid-range shot, would he be an improvement over Wiggins at small forward?

Also, is it the combination of Simmons being paired with Embiid which has (Please Use More Appropriate Word) Simmons's development; the Sixers organization (front office and coaching), itself; Simmons, himself, not working hard enough on improving the deficiencies in his game; or a combination of multiple factors?
I would love to see Simmons on the Warriors paired with Green in the frontcourt; however, the team would be missing a small forward/wing (assuming that Wiggins would be part of a trade to acquire Simmons).
Even if the Warriors were to be able to trade Green (and perhaps Poole and a future #1) for Simmons, an obvious improvement, statistically, as well as another infusion of youth, for the team at power forward; how would this move affect Curry?
