Jonathon Simmons Likely to be Waived

[MoSpur02]

Would you guys want him back on the Spurs?

[sasaint]

No.

[JeffDuncan]

Sure. We only have 17 guards now. Gotta have more.

[Dejounte]

How the mighty have fallen. Werent there people trashing the Spurs because they didnt keep Simms?

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Why don't we just get Gary Neal back while we are at it.

[picnroll]

Hope he banked his paychecks.

[Dverde]

He seems unnecessary with Lonnie Walker and DDR on the roster. He’ll probably show up wherever Nephew signs.

[pad300]

No thanks

[SpursDynasty85]

Yes. If he is still healthy he is a decent backup SF.

[MoSpur02]

I had a feeling he wouldn't look as good in Orlando and especially in Philly. He shouldn't have left S.A. Oh well.

[Dennis the Menace]

No.

[dabom6]

Dude wanted 50 mil. :lmao

[BillMc]

How the mighty have fallen. Werent there people trashing the Spurs because they didnt keep Simms?

[RD2191]

He's better than that piece of shit Mills so why not?

[Russ]

Where are all those who laughed at the Spurs for not offering Simmons a cap-busting deal?

[ZeusWillJudge]

He's too tall.

[Seventyniner]

I'd take Number Two back before this guy.

[boutons_deux]

Same as Speedy, so-called savior of Tony, then dropped out of the league a couple of years later.

[Chucho]

[GrapplingYautja]

This dude really fucked up. Should have stayed pat and improved on his game. Especially at his age, but whatever.

[Realdeal1]

Isn’t Simmons a locker room cancer? Wasn’t he one of the guys in kahwis ear helping him turn on the Spurs?

[Millennial_Messiah]

I'd take Number Two back before this guy.

I'd take the reigning FMVP/likely MVP over pretty much anyone, tbh.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Scrub. Doesn't deserve the roster spot.

Also celebrated Ray Allen's 3. Never forget.

Not from his perspective, taking the money was the only sensible thing...

[Leetonidas]

Lol the low iq posters thinking we should have ponied up for this scrub that keeps getting bounced between teams and can't even get on the floor :lmao

[Mugen]

Hope he banked his paychecks.

JSimms has like 6 kids that I'm sure he's paying alimony on, I guarantee he'll be broke AF 3-4 years after he's out of the league.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Him and Kawhi were good friends. Pop choosing wombat over Simmons really hurt kawhi

[Spurs Brazil]

No

[SpursDynasty85]

Lol the low iq posters thinking we should have ponied up for this scrub that keeps getting bounced between teams and can't even get on the floor :lmao

Signing for big money vs staying with the established contender was a choice that caused him a shorter career I'm sure. If Spurs and Simmons worked it out in free agency Simmons wouldve been productive and more marketable vs going to that constant lottery team. I imagine he regrets it more than the Spurs for sure but, Spurs just have a way to make vets fit.

He was never really good to begin with. Had a couple ok games in the playoffs and had flashy dunks. All his numbers tell us that he sucked in general tbh

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

How the mighty have fallen. Werent there people trashing the Spurs because they didnt keep Simms?

Beat me to what I was gonna say.

He had a really good story and was a solid bench guy for us but a lot of folks overrated him. Hopefully he can find another team who will give him a shot but I doubt and don't want it to be with us

[MannyIsGod]

This dude really fucked up. Should have stayed pat and improved on his game. Especially at his age, but whatever.

Dude got paid. He did anything but fuck up. it just turns out its hard to make it in the NBA.

[MannyIsGod]

JSimms has like 6 kids that I'm sure he's paying alimony on, I guarantee he'll be broke AF 3-4 years after he's out of the league.

You might want to learn what alimony is before you guarantee anyone's financial status TBH

[BatManu20]

He sucked ass the minute he left the Spurs, not surprisingly.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Didn't San Antonio offer him a similar deal as Orlando but he wanted more from the Spurs? Not to mention didn't he want to be promised guaranteed playing time or something like that?

I remember him being released from unrestricted free agency status from our guys due to him requesting it, because the team didn't agree to his roster situation and playing terms. He pretty much pulled a Stephen Jackson. Lmao

[Mugen]

You might want to learn what alimony is before you guarantee anyone's financial status TBH

Child support, alimony, whatever it'll be, he'll be broke soon. Just stick to your breakfast burrito, fat boy.

Spurs never made an offer and didn't want to keep him. Same with Dedmon. There was some friction in the locker room with them and the old heads



WTF is this about?

Him saying fuck the Spurs on twitter in 2013, way before we turned him into an NBA player

[timtonymanu]

Lol Simmons. I know we give Forbes a lot of shit but he’s easily been a better player than Simmons turned out to be.

[DAF86]

WTF is this about?

There's an instagram or twitter video of this scrub celbrating Allen's 3 on '13. The worst part is that it wasn't because he was a Heat's fan, he was just a Spurs' hater.

[slick'81]

Guys got one foot out the nba door

[TimmyBuckets]

Wait I thought he wanted to spread his wings and fly like b/c Pop was holding him down? Ungrateful cunt just like his bitch-made buddy.

[HarlemHeat37]

He was never anything more than a dunker who could defend for a few possessions in isolation, as the metrics always told us..Orlando got much better when they removed him from the rotation, actually, they made an impressive run immediately after(Magic fans were begging for him to be removed from the team)..

Salute to him for getting paid, though..he made more money than he ever should have, everything worked out for his life, all because of an open tryout..

Kawhi getting hurt in game 1 was the best thing to ever happen to him.. he got a nice series of stat-padding against a coasting team that led to a nice contract..crazy how life works..

[rjv]

his NBA career was a blink of an eye.

[bic50]

Can he still dunk?

[cd021]

PATFO not offering him a deal and taking a chance on Gay turned out to be a great move tbh.

[superbigtime]

that bridge is burnt. I liked the trail-from-behind blocks.

[Chomag]

He's better then Mills ...there is that

[spurraider21]

there's no point...

not only has he been something of a trainwreck in recent years, but he'd do nothing but take valuable minutes from lonnie

[NickiRasgo]

Nah. He's actually bitter when the Spurs didn't give him the contract. Instead of being grateful, he actually made an indirect hate post to the Spurs I believe. Good for him for getting that contract but probably hist last.

[KimmyGib]

i remember he had like one nice game in the wcf after kawhi went down, where he shot like 7-17 or something, and the hype took off. spurs got swept with him as kawhi's replacement. some nice dunks tho.

Agree. This is a classic progress stopper situation

[ElNono]

yes, and Ayres too, IMO

[Manong Ginobili]

He can play in China. Or in the Philippines. :bobo

[Spurtacular]

He seems unnecessary with Lonnie Walker.

How far do you think Lonnie Walker has advanced?

[therealtruth]

Weren't him and Dedmon leaving part of the reason Kawhi was unhappy?

they were his bff's on the team

[paperboy77]

Fuck yeah. Cut or see what you can get for Patty, Marco and Forbes. Simmons is more of a SF and did really well under our system. Need some players with some balls out there. Current team is waaaay too soft. A lot of this has to do with (I think) the whole playing defense without fouling point of emphasis thing. Yes fouling is bad but the refs adjust to aggressive teams. (See Raymond G.) We need some misfits on the damn team to stir shit up. Patty, Marco and Bryn have done good things for us but in an ever-changing NBA you cant be stuck on "loyalty". It's a damn business.

[duncan2k5]

Go away dummy... U can't even formulate a legible counter argument

[james evans]

. I love the spurs but I absolutely hate their fan base. These are the type of people I avoid in a daily basis and carry guns to protect myself against. This is why no one but washed up players seeking a last big pay day wants to play for us anymore.

Yes, I'm sure it's because the fans don't want their team to sign awful players. The guy was straight doodoo for the Spurs. There really isn't any way to argue otherwise.

[JeffDuncan]

Lol the usual PATFO fluffers getting their assholes ready with lube because they didn't sign Simms. They tried, just got curved. Kind of like when Pop flew to California twice to beg Kawhi to stay in his plantation and got rejected

The expanded definition of slavery: being paid $19 million to sit on your ass and then force your way to another team. Damn, the Spurs should pay him reparations.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

A lot of folks need to chill with comparing anything like this to slavery because it's very disrespectful to people who were actually enslaved. I do understand the correlation and why people make the comparison but it's still extreme.

Being a celebrity and especially a professional athlete is kinda like being in the military in my opinion. You Volunteer to sign up, you have great chances to get promoted in your field, being a former member can assist you greatly in future employment opportunities, you receive decent pay and benefits, and you constantly get guidance and structure on how to complete the tasks at hand.

The draw backs are a hectic schedule because you're pretty much on call 24/7 and 365 days of the year, you have to wear uniforms to work, drug testing, constantly have to do community service type projects to help promote your employer, and always have to be cognizant of how you carry yourself in public to avoid making your employer look bad.

Of course being a celebrity isn't as strict and way more lucrative than the military but they a similar in my opinion

[kxs783kms]

I don't blame him. One should always try to take advantage of the moment because you never know how long it will last

Damn I never saw the report that they offered him 9 million per year. Dude is an idiot to take a lesser deal in Orlando. Back then there were reports that the Spurs never made an offer, I guess those were wrong. Seems PATFO is not as stupid as I thought they were. Then again the Mills and Pau deals still make them look stupid

[John B]

He’d likely going Lakers now for minimum

Simmons is still a good story though. He was in the friggin G league one year unknown and netted at 26M contract the next year. Imo, Amazing. It was his decision and a fair one but 20/20 now I'm sure he would like to be a Spur. He is 30 and dealing with injury. If we can get him under 2.5M yr for a defender off the bench, no brainer. But it has to be a mutual decision, could be burned bridges, hope not.
r for sure.

[toki9]

It was actually 3-year, $20 million, with only $13.3 guaranteed...so if he gets waived, that'd be it for the original contract.

nah I wouldn't bring him back. Too old at this point and the injury really killed his value. We got too many young guys at his position now. He was a nice player to have before that and played tough. I always loved the guy cause he just played hard. You could see he was an NBA player in his first summer league. The athleticism and defense alone showed that he belongs. He just had to carve out a role for himself and get more consistency on his jump shot.

[therealtruth]

Another one of those role players that lose their powers when they leave the Spurs.

[Kurgan]

Anyone remember this tweet after the Kawhi trade happened?

Not too bright to burn your bridges with the team that made you, especially when you're just a fringe player in this league. Spurs won't be answering his calls anytime soon.

Why? This team is already overloaded from 1-3, he's worse than all of them (with the possible exception of Johnson) and like Murray, White, Walker and now Johnson, he's physically incapable of defending big wings. That's the need. They already have them to provide average or better defense from 1-3.

The need is a big wing who's a legit 3-point shooter. I keep saying names like Kidd-Gilchrist, Young, Crowder, Aminu, Hollis-Jefferson, etc. thrown around, but they're all minimal to non 3-point shooters. Put them alongside the starters (because the players they need them to defend are James, Durant, Scumbag, Antetokounmpo, etc.) and the offense would suffocate.

This team is not overloaded with 3. The most 3 we have on this team is now Johnson. It was DeRozan and Gay but Gay is now a 4
We need a back up DD until Walker IV or Keldon gets up to speed. I think Walker starts off in Gleague and has to compete his way on but he is still one year away imo. Who else can fill the back up 3 while learning the Spurs sytem for within a year? I really think for a one year rental Simmons is better than those names you mentioned. We have our future 3s but we need the a vet who will contribute right away. Simmons would be seamless. Too bad most players will know this now and may not sign because SAS only looking for 1 year deals probably.

:lmao What are you talking about? There's no difference in the types of players Simmons, Murray, White, Walker and Johnson can defend.

So having Walker, their most promising prospect in 7 years, on a team that needs all the upside it can get, currently being probably one spot away or in a battle (Belinelli) for rotation minutes, in his 2nd season, isn't enough? They need to bury him with an aging, fringe player, who hates the organization and is an ungrateful puke?

Simmons can't shoot or defend big wings. He's literally the worst possible fit.

[Steve-O-Matic]

Would you guys want him back on the Spurs?

No. This team needs veteran needle-movers, and/or young building blocks. Simmons is neither.

raps winning it all
lowry not folding in the POs
siakam winning MIP
houston winning it all 17/18 (would've happened if cp3 didn't get hurt)
westbrook winning MVP 16/17

all these predictions were made before the seasons even started

didn't think kawhi would come back to play the season he played nine games, thought the spurs should've blown it up that year. also had the spurs beating the rockets after tony got hurt, wanted the spurs to draft montrezl harrell... i would put my record up against anyone on this site

Well. He could shoot pre injury and usually it takes a year before they can even feel right let alone play right post injury. Walker IV and Johnson are not ready yet. White and Murray could very well be playing the 1 and backing each other up leaving Forbes, DeRozan, Belli, and Mills left to fill the 2 and the 3 maybe or Bertans and Gay. So, YES, there are plenty of players Simmons can defend over the rest of these guys. That along anothe strecth 4 unless samanic is ready alrrady too.

Simmons, along with Dedmon, were the ones who poisoned Kawhi against the Spurs. You have as much chance of being a Spur as they do of returning.

[DMC]

JS is a classic "gets mines" person who seems to think he's done more to get there than anyone else so he should be revered as an oracle of hard work and sacrifice. In reality he should be thankful he got into the NBA and fooled enough people. You take most mid to upper level G leaguers and put them on a team that moves the ball where said G leaguer isn't ever covered by anyone and said G leaguer should do well. That doesn't mean they are NBA material. When all the talent stacks on few big market teams, people like JSims is what you get.

Simmons, along with Dedmon, were the ones who poisoned Kawhi against the Spurs. You have as much chance of being a Spur as they do of returning.


Yup. Thought they’d ride his coattails to money and whatever else. There’s a reason Dedmon and Simmons outside of their play are considered untouchable by other teams

[EricB]

Source?

You don’t understand how sources work do ya precious.

[SpursDynasty85]

You mention the guards to fill up the 2 and 3 and name drop bertans and gay. Those guys are strictly 4s. :lmao faggot.

You must be a burner account troll. Bye.

Lol. So Spurs sent Simmons packing? I dont think that's accurate.

Sports news is like Soviet newspapers...

But still it helps if it was written down somewhere.

I undestand shit just fine, i predicted the last Lakers season correctly with only Tim Bontemps backing me up in MSM.

[TD 21]

Well. He could shoot pre injury and usually it takes a year before they can even feel right let alone play right post injury. Walker IV and Johnson are not ready yet. White and Murray could very well be playing the 1 and backing each other up leaving Forbes, DeRozan, Belli, and Mills left to fill the 2 and the 3 maybe or Bertans and Gay. So, YES, there are plenty of players Simmons can defend over the rest of these guys. That along anothe strecth 4 unless samanic is ready alrrady too.

Simmons never could shoot, it's impossible to know at this point if Walker will be ready next season and whether they're playing the 1 or not, again, there's no player Simmons can guard that White and Murray can't (given the poor roster construction, we'll often see them, particularly the former, defend the best opposing perimeter player no matter the position).

[HarlemHeat37]

So many posters here thought this man could be a starter on a contender:lol

Not only was he a bench-warmer on a shallow Philly team, but a fringe playoff Orlando team removed him from its roster and made the playoffs:lol (and unlike Tony Parker, he wasn't on the verge of retirement)..

I can't read BillMc's posts...my eyes can't focus after seeing the signature pics.

I wanted to see him get paid. He got a $20M contract, which should mean he's set for life if he managed it properly. He probably didn't.

[MoSpur02]

He should go play overseas and get paid.

[loveforthegame]

Wonder if he ends with the Clippers with his buddy Leonard?

[toki9]

I wanted to see him get paid. He got a $20M contract, which should mean he's set for life if he managed it properly. He probably didn't.

Unfortunatley, only $1M of that contract was guaranteed in the final year...so it turned out to be $13M or so for him...

[lmbebo]

$13M still a lot of money, more than many of us will make in our life time. But still, prob lost it all.

Yep. It certainly is. I'm not sure if my memory is right on this (someone correct me), but I think he was looking for a contract in the $15M to $20M per year range at the time--so a mid-$50M contract...and the Spurs were willing to pay about $9M per year (rumors, though)...

Something like that. Spurs also were willing to pay him the same he got in Orlando, but he wanted to move on (kind of the same situation that Tony faced in terms of the Spurs willing to pay him the same deal he got from Charlotte but he wanted to move on.).

[RC_Drunkford]

will the Lakers sign him?

He’s not moving on now. Spurs team system hides individual weaknesses while focuses on strengths. They don’t play out of character
