If I'm Philly, I'm not giving up Covington straight up for Wiggins without the picks. Covington is an elite defender and solid shooter that has a ton of value off the ball. Why give that up for a guy who does little without the ball in his hands and hasn't even been a plus player to this point his his career? Wiggins has shown nothing but ability to put up empty stats. Unless you're a team starting a rebuild and get him super cheap, why even risk taking that on.

I do agree Covington is a good defender but that playoff performance was terrible. Andrew Wiggins is a guy that is just about to hit his prime. if you look at the timeline we have a team of Wiggins, Simmons, Embiid, Fultz, Saric, Smith, Bolden, Korkmaz, TJ, Shamet that could stay together and still have about 20 million in space for 2019 free agency. Wiggins could benefit so much from playing with a talent like Simmons.

I'm just not sure how Simmons would really help Wiggins. He's not a very good catch and shoot guy and most of his offense comes from him isolating. That also seems like what he wants to do. He was upset with not getting as many of those touches this year. Do you really want to take the ball away from Simmons and Embiid, who are pretty efficient offensive players, to get Wiggins's volume scoring? That's not even to mention that without the ball in his hands, he doesn't give you much. He doesn't space the floor, he's an awful defender, and he's a below average rebounder. Covington isn't going to create offense, but he has 5 years worth of stats that prove his playoff shooting numbers were below what you can expect from a larger sample size and given that more than half his shots are from 3, he's more prone to variants than most players. Even the elite off ball shooters like Korver, Reddick and Thompson have had some playoff series that look terrible just because their 3s weren't falling. Wiggins may be slightly more consistent on the offensive end, but he's consistently going to give you a little over a point per shot and he's going to take a ton of shots. That's not good. Look at their playoff numbers. Covington was scoring 8 points on 8 shots and Wiggins was giving you 14 points on 13 shots. That's all while Wiggins is getting torched on defense and Covington is giving you great defense on and off ball.
