I like this move for NJ. They already have a huge amount of forwards. Or could this be them getting ready to trade vc. We will see

This makes no sense other than getting rid of Hughes.

Simmons has played decently this season, and although he is getting older Hughes is still pretty good, and has an expiring big contract soon, so i like the trade for us.

Just don't make sense to me, Devin/Larry/VC?
Wouldn't work in my eyes.
