Atlanta looked awfully good torching the Mavs, and their 3&D/SF platoon of DeAndre Hunter and Cam Reddish was daunting.
As I recall from the offseason, BoD was articulating one of his deeply felt trade scenarios, arguing that Reddish was redundant and expandable.
Cam Redbone and Gallo for Simmons.
Gotta give to get, and Simmons is still a major talent, while it's good to have elite defenders around Trae. Yes, Gallo still a dangerous shooter, but slow-footed/non-switchy on D, and injury prone. Missed G1 already. ATL has a lot of 3-pt shooting with Trae, Bogdan, Huerter, Collins. Plus Hunter/Reddish/Jalen. Not sure LouW sees the court this year without an injury.
Admittedly as Cam comes on, such a deal will become less likely. And it doesn't get PHI a PG unless it's expanded to include Delon Wright and a PHI wing. And then it's probably too much change, even if ATL would be trading 3 backups for a starter (and a Shake Milty/whoever bench guy)
Reddish is expendable if you trust Hunter's knee. And ATL could use to get out of Gallo's big salary, with Huerter's deal on the books next season. ATL has insane depth. So consolidating some high level role players for a high quality starter makes sense. Can't play 14 guys.
Gallo and Okongwu were out G1 and who noticed? Dieng and Sol Hill filled in fine enough.
