yeah that's what I was reading...they'd ship him to get bench depth...they did recoup a couple of picks outta the deal which is something...
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
