In theory, perhaps Simmons doing a Draymond Green impression for five-minute bursts could work. But sharing the court with Jonathan Kuminga, Jimmy Butler, or Green would create a spacing nightmare.
Simmons still has talent and is an elite defender, but he really, really doesn’t want to shoot — don’t get tricked by the annual offseason workout videos — or get to the foul line. That makes his fit anywhere clunky, and Golden State is no exception.
Verdict: Only if you squint really, really hard
