If I was Denver, I would not have any concern about a big 3 of Jokic, Murray, and Porter. You always hear the concern about only having one ball and all that but that 3 is a good mix of size, ball handling, scoring, the right age, everything you want. If I was Denver, I would not see any need to bring in Simmons for either Murray or Porter. Why take that risk. Get Murray back on the court and see what you have.
And if Simmons and Embiid is a bad fit, why would Simmons and Jokic be a good fit? I don't think it would be. I don't see Denver going anywhere near Simmons.
