FA is unpredictable like that.
Again, he's got the 4 kids, beyond that he's not a youngling Murray's age for example.
He's going for his contract this season.
Depends what happens in the WCF tbqh
He could flamenout and only few teams would want him
Or he could kick ass and lakers will go for him and offer him a starting spot
Hopefully its middle
Of the road qnd we can keep him

A guy like Simmons is really valuable defensively. His defense on Harden and against the Rockets 3pt shooters was amazing. Multiple efforts and avoiding fouling. Ability to force TOs. I think you have to find a way to keep him.
Yeah I don't think they win the last 2 games w/o Simmons. People think Harden just stopped playing. They put a really good defender on him. In game 5 you could think that he was tired but tonight he wasn't even looking to attack Simmons on offense.
Harden stopped playing. Not in game 5, but in game 6 he certainly did. Simmons is good, no doubt, but Harden is a 30ppg scorer and higher during the playoffs. He quit.
I agree.
Spurs will have to have Kawhi, Simmons, and Green out there to stop the Duds Big 3.
Hide Patty on Donkey Green or Iguoadala. Neither have a postgame
Simmons should already be starting. Bring Green off the bench
Pop will tell him to take the money. I have no issue with that. He earned every penny.
Manu took his soul at the end of Game 5.
Simmons is gone regardless of how the postseason ends tbh. Would like to keep him though.
He's going to get paid and rightfully so. I don't think the Spurs will be able to hold on to him, especially since Mills has finally realised he was also in a contract year.
I can't understand why the Spurs can't keep both... ing Cavs keeps all their players an sign xtra mutha as... why wouldn't we be able to keep ours??
They can keep Mills and Simmons if they want. Dedmon - not so much as they have no bird rights.
I suspect, the Rockets will pay him. He's going to Houston. That's where his true loyalty lies.
Yeah, Hanga is definetely coming over, and I actually loved Anderson tonight, so I am not sure I would pay more than 6-7 millions for Simmons.
we need to keep simmons...elite athleticism, underrated handles and slashing ability...above average defense...still young
Don't know, but really wish his game translates to the next series. He was doing a lot of good things out there.
THIS. It requires a very strong mind to recover from being Manu'd in the playoffs the way Harden was...
Oh and #paysimmons. To me, they'll pay him 11M per year (with him deciding to stay over bigger offers alla LDN) for 2 years and Manu back for vet exception.
It will be tough for Simmons because he can grab the bucks and go to a crap team or stick around and win. I imagine he is gone after the season though and I wont blame him.
I actually laughed when either JVG or MJ said last night: "this kid's gonna get paid, the best $150 investment ever"![]()
It's incredible that people think he's just going to walk away. He'd be flipping burgers somewhere if it weren't for the Spurs giving him a chance.
They'll do some cap gymnastics and get him the best possible deal they can (with a promise to pay more later), and he'll be a Spur for life.
he'll be overpaid and get gone, and good for him.
What range do you think he will get paid?
simmons is more likely playing manu off the team.
I think we should really be trying to keep Patty, sure there are other guys out there with his skill set, but you can replicate his heart, every Spur says he is the heart of the team, that's worth the extra right there.
