Why The Orlando Magic Do The Deal 

For what it’s worth, there are reasons to believe this could work. 

A vital aspect of maximizing Simmons is a stretch big man. His inability to shoot doesn’t have to be a major issue if all four of the guys on the floor with him can. The Magic could provide him with exactly those types of lineups. 

After all, Mo Bamba is a stretch big. Moreover, Bol Bol is having a breakout season – he can play at the 5 as well. The Magic may be able to field lineups that make use of Simmons’ strengths. 

Realistically, the success of this deal may hinge on Paolo Banchero. As it stands, the rookie looks to be elite in just about every area but floor spacing.
