Maybe so if he was the GM for the Celtics. If I worked for some vanilla franchise I had no emotional ties to (Atlanta Thrashers?) I think the head/heart thing could be kept to a minimum.

For me, the biggest reason I think teams are going to be reluctant to give Simmons a chance is the risk of creating a bit of a spectacle. His presence would probably be a big distraction.
