Recently Simmons has been working out with Aaron gordon. The nuggets do this because porter is still young and not as experienced as ben, they could use his wing defense in the playoffs especially against teams like the lakers. The nuggets are giving up a lot of depth for this trade to work but it's to make the salary work and I think its worth it. The 76ers are doing this because they get even more depth and trade assets they could use potentially, but I think MPJ is like and mini KD and would improve our offense tremendously.
