And based on reports, trading Simmons might close such gaps.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I remember I wanted the Mavs to trade Porzingis for Ben Simmons (when he was an All Star).

Early in the season, it was thought that either Seth Curry or Joe Harris would end up on the trade market.
