Apparently the offer presented to orlando (per woj) was: 1) fultz for terrence ross; or 2) fultz for simmons and a 1st round pick.
Kind of surprised orlando chose to give up the 1st round pick, but i guess they're serious about a playoff run this year.
Doing a little more reading on this and i'm starting to get slightly more optimistic. At least simmons is a very good defender. If he can defend smaller guards, he'll be useful as that is one of the sixers' biggest weakenesses.
If the pick we got was orlando's instead of a top-20 lottery protected pick from the thunder, i'd be a lot happier about this
