Simmons for McCollum I guess works as a change of scenery/desperation trade, but from the Blazers perspective it doesn't change their fundamental postseason problem of relying too much on Dame. And Simmons on a max is horrifying if he doesn't at least get more aggressive on offense, even if it's just trying to make runners/floaters/layups/dunks. I'm really gonna be interested to see what the Simmons market ends up being, if his contract were a rookie deal I'd imagine there's be tons of teams willing to take a flier on a talented guy. But his contract is as bad as it gets right now so can't see too many teams being in, or perhaps more to the point I can't see teams willing to trade anything other than likewise bad contracts.
