He wants to either dominate the ball as a point guard or hide in the dunkers spot. He has no interest whatsoever in sacrificing his body setting picks. I think too many people get caught up in the idea of Ben Simmons and can't see what he actually is. He's very talented but you can't make someone care.
I have said elsewhere that the Mavs would of course do their due diligence before pulling a Simmons trade. If they look into it and he has interest in playing alongside Luka and being a small ball 5 for stretches then I am in.
Point is, your concerns are VERY real and I don't dismiss them. But as a fan-GM I cannot look into them. But from a basketball standpoint I would try the Simmons-Luka experiment as long as Simmons was interested in it as well.
