Has there been real Simmons trade talk?
Youre guess is as good as mine. Logically though, I doubt it.
Ownership just gave him the big deal and they have at least until summer to evaluate him.
If the best you can get for Simmons with his value this low is a volume chucker at Dlo status then its best to just wait it out.
Ive posted it before but I think the risk inherent in Simmons is worth the potential reward.
He goes to GS, they deal Draymond because they dont need him anymore, and theyre right back in the hunt.
Simmons just refuses to impact the game on offense.
Worse FT % than in college. thats mental.
Refusing to take shots that are baked in to the offense for you, thats fear. Mental.
Somehow he figured he could take 2 less shots per game with JRich/Al than he could with JJ/Jimmy. Mental
1 shot attempt in 4th quarters this year. You cant even evaluate him realistically because he's only playing one end of the court.
This isnt Wiggins building brick houses or Okafor rolling out of bed for 17 while getting caved for 25.
Despite the offensive frustrations:
top 20 in PER, WS,
TS @ .582 with minimal 3's and horrible FT%
If he's Deron Williams and is fine being a meme, then we're ******* regardless but the eye test and fancy stats seem to indicate to me an immature 23 year old who shows every sign of two way dominance if he could just get out of his own head.
EDIT: and now he's gonna have to sink or swim because Jo's fingers fell off apparently
