He is shooting 28% from 3 this year. I get that last year he shot 37% but he has typically been a pretty poor outside shooter (26%, 33%, 37%, 28%). I dont agree that he is an excellent spacer, but the rest of your statement is 100% true. That said, Im hoping its just rust of only playing 17 games and not being in the right spots to shoot, but playing next to Jrue/Giannis/middleton...i dont think spots was the issue (hopefully just rust. I hope you are right though.
I think trading simmons for harden (even giving up curry and draft picks) is worth it for the sixers. They get an elite playmaker and a guy who can and will launch from 3 who also probably has phoned it in massively over the last few months judging by his history in forcing his way out in Houston. You keep your young PG next to him AND your elite (likely All NBA Defensive) 3-D stopper who is DIRT CHEAP. I think it is a big win for both teams.
Yes and no. Draymond can actually defend most bigs and Simmons doesn't have the same strength or low center of gravity - he's more of a perimeter defender. He's also much more of a primary ballhandler/playmaker than Green, who functions as a secondary playmaker in the halfcourt. Draymond also stretches the floor just a bit.
That said, I think Simmons is a better fit than Harden for Irving and Durant. Trying to get three primary scorers to share the ball is much harder than having a clear playmaker and two top tier scorers.

HOW THE F does he get this narrative ?
Meanwhile the Kings get their top trade target for a good young player but keep all their draft capital, appear to get 3/4 of the best players in a 6 player trade, a pick, and dump the worst contract in the deal and Monte sucks.
also who knows what's what from last night, but however much the team must have been hurting from Haliburton it seems they threw a frickin party that the other two dudes weren't around.
