Wouldn't you be worried about spacing at all? I think Simmons can become an adequate shooter in time, but he's definitely not there yet.

Not at all, Ben Simmons is like a speedboat leaving a massive wake(of spacing) behind, plus he's really damn good at making the right reads, he's a better 'probing PG' than any of the PG's in this draft..

He'd actually be a damn good fit on this roster, I'd say that type of scenario would be an ideal fit for him.. Hood and Lyles are damn good matches to flank Simmons with..


The spacing and ballmovement, would be noticably crisper IMO..

They'd definitely make the playoffs still.. which is one of the reasons why Utah would actually be a great landing spot for him..
 
Also the roles on the team would actually be more defined with a move like that.. Hood would be the #1 option, Simmons and Exum could split the duties of the main ball-handler, which isn't an issue at all, Dante can focus on shooting and defense a bit more.... Favors and Gobert do what they do.. Lyles and Burks are the gunners off the bench.. and the Playoffs are an obvious achievable goal next year, which is pretty damn good for Simmons compared to some of the places he could land..

You can get away with having Favors play half his minutes at PF and C too which adds to the quality of the rotation..

a lineup like Trey Burke, Alec Burks, Joe Ingles, Ben Simmons and Favors is totally viable.. the teams ability to mix-and match lineps would actually increase which isn't exactly the easiest thing to do because of all the flexibility already on the squad..
 
So trade Hayward, draft Simmons, draft Maker, sign Patty Mills and run with a 5 aussie lineup?

Throw another championship on the barbie.

If you are trading Hayward for Simmons you pretty much have to trade one of our bigs, right? I mean, if you are giving up our best player for Simmons, he has to play.

If you trade Hayward then you should look at trading Favors too.

Hayward for Ingram or Simmons is laughable, sets this team back years

Obviously it sets them back. That's not the point. In the long run, would you rather have Cory maggette or kevin durant?

That might be the difference.

The Jazz will change the jerseys and the primary logo(Mountain).

SLC Dunk pointed out these mountains around the arena. Clue?

perhaps .. but best case even if you end up with a Durant ... has he won it all ?? I'd be worried as all hell about Simmons outside shot not developing.
