I hadn't seen the number yet. If he got that much, and three years guaranteed? He had to take it. At his age, that's life-changing money. The guys who get paid coming off their freshman years in college can afford to think differently. Simmons had a shot to get paid, and he did what he was supposed to do. The Spurs' salary cap problems are their own making, not his.
Link?
Would like to read of glorious destruction of once mighty team.
Yeah...but even though it isn't a huge loss, we could still use another athlete.
So, since he wasn't restricted anymore, could he sign for more than 9 million in the first couple years of the contract?
good for him
100% BS
Pop and Simms maybe had their differences but he didn't leave because he couldn't showboat after a dunk
does magic have anything that spurs could use for maybe a sign and trade?
He'll be missed.
There was no reason to keep him when they're blowing up the team next summer. Of course you could have said the same for Mills. I wanted Simmons back if they could have landed someone like Paul or Hayward and gotten something decent for Softridge to give them a fighting chance at a le, but no reason to have him taking up 2018 capspace when the Spurs signed nobody of any value and are stuck with a pissed off Aldridge who is going to be even lazier next year.
Good luck Juice. You will be missed.
I am glad you got your payday.
I hope in time Kyle gets his too.
The two of you in tandem brought a lot of fun since way back in the day in the dleague.
I have been critical of you at times, but never hated you.
I appreciated what you brought. You and Kyle were homies, thick as thieves and balling every summer to get better.
Kyle remains in the team to suffer Pop's doghouse whenever (hopefully he plays well enough to get out of it, but one never knows with Pop's as he's whimsical with his experiments, but you already know that).
Spread your wings. I am sure the Magic will play you a lot.
I hope you do well. You will be reunited with Chad Forcier. Orlando needs any help they can get. Go make some noise in the Eastern Conference.
this not Marc Spears
He gone
Spurfan: Don't compromise 2018 cap space!
Also Spurfan: Why didn't we sign anyone good?!?!
Magic has AIDS. Do you want them?
I know that crap is a lot of rumor and conjecture but there does seem to be a fair bit of evidence pointing to the fact that the rumors about Pop and the get over yourself, don't show emotion stuff is true which is scary because players like TD and Kiwi aren't that common in today's NBA and if players get the feeling they can't express themselves here then we will get next to no grade A free agents. I am thinking about that list of the top 15 players in the league right now and trying to think of any that fit what Pop is supposedly looking for at ude on the court wise and I can't think of one besides the one he already has.
Gonna miss the highlights. Not critical to Spurs success though.
But Magic's "AIDS" are healthier than most people's non-AIDS, tbh.
So... We resign Patty who always disappears in the playoffs, and has horrendous defense, but let Simmy walk and he is one of the few athletes we have on a team they desperately needs perimeter defense and slashing to compete with the warriors? Brilliant!
Is that really funny?? Wow....... message board or not. That's some clown ....... Karma
3years 20 mill all guaranteed according to Jabari Young
