There is a big difference between Simmons reverting back to what he was i.e. a 16/8/8 type player with versatile 1st Team All Defense verse Simmons morphing into an offensive juggernaut. The elite defender with 16/8/8 type stats is incredibly valuable and clearly has a place in the league even if he doesn't shoot well (or that often). The 6/6/6 player with mediocre defense and a 35 million a year salary that he currently is, is the problem. If he can basically just go back to Philly level Simmons though, that guy has a place in the league and value to teams.
