Simmons as our starting sg

[Play Boban]

Simmons is garbage.

So Danny is fine china?

Verde sucks as well but it's all relative.

Simmons is garbage.

Someone didn't watch the playoffs.

Except any team that pays attention to metrics/advanced stats. WS/48 to Green by .141 (superior starter level) to .035 (deep bench crap). How about DRPM 1.71 to -2.03 . RPM 1.27 to -0.91. VORP 2.0 to 0.0 Even PER, which is hugely weighted towards inefficient offense, Danny 10.2 Jonathan 9.9.

I will give you Simmons had a good 2 weeks in a high touch role that he only sees if we are in deep injury trouble. This may have been a hot streak for his jumper, we just don't know. I say see if we can work something by way of S&T if he wants a big contract...

Bro...A lot of his lack in numbers is because he would be put in one game, then benched the next...Can't build a rhythm when you have no clue if youre playing...Green always knew he he gonna start and play...He had that continuity game by game...Give that to Simmons you will see a big difference

Simmons will take away touches from Kawhi. While he could end the game like Manu did.

[BackHome]

I don't think Simmons or Green is what we need for a starting SG to contest with Golden State for Kawhi career.

I think Simmons' confidence would be the same if he were to become the sixth man (in Manu's absence), which is where I prefer the Juice - especially if Patty is no longer available to provide that spark off the bench.

This thread is discussing Green V. Simmons as the starting SG and that is the wrong discussion. Both have liabilities in the role of NBA SG as a starter. Trade 'em both for someone better.

This. Simmons is a nice situational player but he's going to get overpaid and the tail end of that contract will likely be an albatross because of the Arena rule. Either draft a SG or try and trade for one.

[stu scotts eye]

Simmons, he's getting overrated as . Let him walk and get a true NBA player that can shoot, tbh.

He cant shoot now.. but is he willing to work with Chip and keep improving after landing some money?

With Green, he always could shoot but it feels like wasnt as motivated to expand his ball handling/other skills.

Then again many dont. Which is why Kawhi is so impressive.

[tholdren]

I like simmons but hes not worth the contract green got. Cant dribble, not smart, so so from 3

[BackHome]

I think everyone like Simmons and we all hope he get paid a big paycheck I just hope it is another team that gives him that contract. For me I would try and trade if possible better picks and just bring Hanga over.

If Hanga was doing for us what Simmons did this year, we would want him to remain a spur

Simmons is gone.

That sounds exactly like Danny Green.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure Tho can't tell them apart.

Underrated post lmfao

Simmons wanted to get paid. If he does, he's Roberson - most of what Roberson does.

I actually cant. Overvaluing one trick pony who will show up almost never in the playoffs..? Tbh i cant tell if its green, bonner, simmons, lma....

[TimDunkem]

But Simmons isn't actually a one-trick pony. He shoots, he drives, finishes layups, has the ability to become a one man fast break, and has decent court vision. I'm not saying he deserves a huge contract, but he's no one-trick pony.

Meanwhile, all Green does is clank threes. His defense has fallen off as well.

Even my ing grandma can see who's the better player out of the two.

[koriwhat]

i dont know who yall were watching these past playoffs but simmons brought it night in and night out.... maybe not as consistent throughout the season but these playoffs he showed no fear even when our best player went down. i would keep simmons. he is a little older than anyone would like but he has put in time with the spurs, shows heart, can get in the lane as well as anyone, and just seems like the grit we need on this team considering we rarely have any at all. really depends on his cost though.

[Chinook]

Simmons deserves credit for the good games he had, but people are overrating his overall post-season. Those saying that $11 Million a year is "not bad" or paying $8 Million each of the first two years is "a steal" are way off base. I'd be willing to try a one-and-one with him getting the opportunity as the third wing to see if he's a long-term guy. But he's far from the only Spurs reserve to put up good stats in the playoffs this year.
