This looks like an overpay from San Antonio, but an overpay may be the only way to acquire Simmons with other teams laying down their best offers. San Antonio has built a reputation of developing foreign players to their maximum potentials, and Greg Popovich (the real GM of the Spurs) has spoken highly of Simmons in the past. Tyrese Maxey has also shown potential as a play maker and off-ball scorer. Philly receives a young underrated star in Dejounte Murray as well as a solid rotational guard in Derrick White. If the Simmons experiment fails the first round pick could also convey into a lottery pick in 2023. This move gives Popovich once last chance at working his magic and trying to contend before he retires, the Spurs are not a top free agency market and Simmons upside at the very least on the defensive side of the floor is clearly there.
