He's a better version of Captan Jax.
please lets not overrate this dude
Yeah, I'd say let him walk if he wants a big pay day tbh... Can't overrate a guy based on a few games...let other teams overpay for him tbh...

gary neal has had bigger performances than simmons
and he didnt need the ball in his hands for 15 seconds every play
There are a dozen Simmons out there.
Spurs need 3pt shooters.
No, we need shot creators. The inability of Manu and TP to do that in recent years has meant fewer good looks for our shooters. Id say it's the other ways around:
there are more shooters out there and true creators.
We need a drive and dish player to fill for Manu. Creators are much harder to find
who are they and where can you find them?
Spurs shooters are not lacking good looks. They are streaky and unreliable and miss open shots. And for several years they have gone AWOL at the worst times. I don't know what Danny and Patty are shooting this series, but I bet it is below 33%.
Said this like 10 ten times to my friend. We can no longer afford the luxury of players like Mills and Green. We need people that can get to the rim and play make. I know it sounds corny but we need players with that heart and mentality of a champion.
he's going to get a bigass payday and he's earned it, but he's going to be overpaid and the spurs shouldn't match ala boban
THE BEST PLAYER FOR THE SPURS IS ALMOST 40 YEARS OLD MANU WAS THE MAN AMONG BOYS ON HIS TEAM.
Name the dozen. The ones that have the atheleisism of Simmons and the seeming ability to play a reasonably facsimile of lock down defense. The Spurs need a player like Simmons. There aren't a dozen of them that can be acquired for that price.
What price are we talking about......cheap price keep but no way in do I break the bank on a few games wonder.
Simmons is in his late 20s and relies on athleticism on the offensive end. Not a good passer and not a good shooter (but not horrible either). He's played his balls out on the offensive end and has been good defensively including key defensive stands against Harden. He's worth keeping, but at a sane price.
Tyreke Evans, Bradley, Smart, Wade, KCP, Eric Gordon, Lavene, Joseph, Powell, Hood, Rivers on top of my head.
Paying Simmons 10M/year would be a huge mistake. If they could get him for cheap, then I'm all for it.
Tyrese, Bradley, Smart, Wade, Gordon, LaVine, Powell, and Hood will all likely come at similar if not higher prices.
Not only these, but Bradley isn't a FA (need to trade for him), Gordon isn't a FA, etc. who are you trading for these guys?
Rather keep Simmons. Defense alone shows he's way more valuable than a Gary Neal or Bojan that other teams overpaid. If only he had a reliable shot but if he did, it'd make him even more expensive.
Important for people to remember this too:

Simmons' offer sheet would look a lot like what he Knicks didn't match with Lin years ago. First two years would be just above the MLE which means cap flexibility in 2018 with Simmons. Could be a huge jump in two years assuming the offering team blows their load.
If the Nets were to offer 4/$50 or something, the deal would be something like $8.4 / $8.8 for the first two years with the last two years being $32.8 total ($16.1 and $16.7). For the Nets I believe it'd be $12.5 flat annually. If the Spurs were to match, I believe they'd lose their MLE but someone please chime in if that's not the case.
Let's not forget that RFA offers have become less frequent if there's a thought a team may match.

We need that 17 year old from real masrid
I would say that they are all much better too or have higher upside. Tyreke should come cheap btw.
