Philly wouldn't do that deal regardless.

They ain't getting much for him, maybe John Wall or Russell Westbrook. 

Washington should trade Westbrook for Simmons and Beal for Wiseman, Wiggins, and the Warriors 2 picks.

Like how much more would ben simmons be worth if he had a 75% FT%? 

Even if his midrange and 3pt was the exact same as now

He's a career 60% FT shooter just shot absolutely horrible from the line in the playoffs.

If he were a better FT shooter it would change his aggressiveness attacking so it’s a hard hypothetical.  Two years ago he would’ve been worth a lot.

The issue with Simmons is that he is the exact same player that he was 6 years ago at LSU and his performance in the playoffs has gotten worse every year. Simmons is what he is, very good defender, a good passer, good rebounder, and an okay scorer but his inability to shoot from the perimeter and meh FT shooting will always hinder him, especially in the playoffs. It also doesn't help that he seems to be kind of a d-bag to the point that his coach, teammates, and former teammates are publicly criticizing him. If he hustled and played winning basketball, it'd be different, but he doesn't, he has like the anti mamba mentality. 

Simmons still has value because of all of the positives that I named above but he's not worth what he's getting paid especially when he's a liability in the playoffs.
