has 4 daughters. dude is taking the biggest contract he gets tbh
This is likely his only shot at a big payday. He's probably gone.

Must concur, Simmons is a must keep, him next to Kawhi and an emerging Murray and you have a crazy athletic back three. I'd even consider moving Kawhi to the 2 just to make room for Simmons as the starting 3.
He's an Arenas FA, the Spurs can match whatever offer he gets if they want.
manu got offered 14 mil last season from 76ers, so i'd assume Simmons would get at least that
He can't get more than MLE for the first year of his contract.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Have always agreed with this. Build around Kawhi/Simmons/Murray
Simmons is alright but I wouldn't break the bank to sign him. To many one year wonders end up being signed to contracts they never live up to.
If Simmons can work on that 3 point shot, he'll be a solid starter.
Just mention Danny's name. You know you wanted to.
For those unaware, he's in one of those situations where some team could do the "poison pill" contract. I'm not sure anyone would but maybe a team like philly or Brooklyn. I see Brooklyn as the greatest threat.
Only if Simmons develops a 3 point shot
Isn't here more accurate then Danny this playoffs?
doesn't the Arenas exception apply to Simmons? i mean, basically, the dude can't get paid more than the non-tax-payer-mid-level exception, right?
Simmons has been really good in these playoffs, but his lack of 3 point shot is concerning with this offense. I like the idea of him taking over the Manu role next year, but would really like him a lot more if he could consistently knock down the 3.
Fully agree, but put CP3 at the 1 for now. CP3, Kawhi, Simmons would be a uva back court. Just find some serviceable bigs who actually play like one and we're straight.
if the spurs could somehow pull that off, i would be content with a bertans and aldridge front court.
Simmons is going to the highest bidder. He has daughters to feed.
I'd love to keep Simms, but if he has a chance to grab big money he will.
that is what the poison pill is... he can't get paid that much right now but then his contract is immensely backloaded.... like double the salary or more depending on the offers the last season or two. We don't know what he will get. One has to wonder what he's worth to some team in the league bc he showed things. What is more, he showed those things against the Dubs in the playoffs without kawhi and Tony and with Pau and LMA playing like pussies. He has shown more than Patty IMO. So he's getting paid... we don't know how much, if his contract is poison pill or not, etc.
With MG leaving & possibly patty (but I hope he stays), they need another Wing player that can create his own shot and play some "D".. IN the offseason JSIMMS just need to work on mid-range game and he will be nice.
He doesn't have near the talent that Manu had at his age, nor the BB IQ. What they share, however, is a fierce desire to win, to never quit. And Pop saw that last night as well. We absolutely need a guy like that on the Spurs.
