You have two 7-footers. Neither fits as a traditional center. The strength of one is outside shooting, the strength of the other is ball-handling/defense. Both create issues in fitting into a lineup. Neither seems to want to play to their own strengths. Both are fallen angels at the moment. If you dislike the contracts, Simmons is worse to gag down.
Swapping them would be kinda like a bigger-size version of the Curry for J-Rich swap. Intriguing.
This idea didn't originate with me. But the idea would be that you fix Ben by playing him at center...which he might totally reject...and might fail at.
For me, though, imagining his combo of defense and playmaking ability seems almost like an evolutinary leap in center play that we might be heding towards anyway.
