Personal accolades are only relevant when it translates to the teams success. In Simmons case it translated to getting bounced in the 2nd round.
Sixers were a .500 team without Simmons this past season (7-7). Personal accolades like making an All-NBA team, being an All-Star every season, and making the 1st team All-Defensive 1st team is EXACTLY what teams want to trade for in a 24 year old lol.
Let's not act like he wasn't super valuable to their #1 seed run. There were a lot more issues than just Simmons in the second round too, he wasn't 100% to blame (although if he played well they would have advanced, no doubt about it).
