Between Steph, Klay, Poole, OPJ and the rest of the role players, there'll be enough perimeter scoring. What they're lacking right now is versatile big defenders that can guard 4/5 - Draymond is essentially the only one. Rebounding and playmaking is also a requirement. And they have to be able to play in small-ball lineups and traditional.

Simmons or Siakam fit that description.
Wiggins is a way better fit than Simmons especially with Draymond on the floor. At least you have to guard Wiggins in crunch time.

There's certainly a trade-off there, but as long as Steph, Klay and another shooting threat are on the floor, there'll be enough space for Ben to wreck havoc by cutting and diving to the rim. His ball-handling, playmaking, size and versatility will be invaluable, things that are of much greater need than what Wiggins provides, which isn't much.

It'll become more evident as the season goes on that Wiggins needs to be moved on.
yall gotta stop wit these dumb ass nba 2k trades give it up this is the team
Nah.

You've got to strive for better, especially with the redundant/ill-fitting pieces on the team.

Disagree. Simmons is another Draymond in many ways except more athletic and as we’ve seen in crunch time a good defensive team can manage to double/triple Steph and scare him/Dray by rotating well. His playmaking is not needed with Draymond/Iggy/Steph/Poole on the court. Simmons is unplayable postseason tbh.
