To receive Simmons we would need more compensation then they want to give. They got some picks back their way with the recent trade but still lost a bunch of picks to Houston from a previous trade iirc. Brooklyn is in a weird situation right now, but finally they are somewhat back to where they started when Sean Marks took over and started making changes: a scrappy team in a big market. But a nightmare they went through chasing superstars to only go full circle with NOTHING to show for it but more debt. Shows how the league is in such disrepair, especially when the league promotes players over teams, much less the actual game experience. (*steps off soap box)
