Shams: Jonathon Simmons Agrees to 3-yr Deal w/Orlando Magic

[NASpurs]

Spurs would have matched that. It seems like he wanted to leave and the Spurs did him a solid by renouncing him.

Seems like it, he wanted to get the out of the organization.

[raybies]

Lets be real people.....some of the same cats running their mouths about j simms this j simms that were bad mouthing the spurs signing him initially! Let this kid Paul get in here and see what type of impact he can make; perhaps we can help him make some money be it here or elsewhere.

Yeah I feels it. Simmons wasn't much of a distributor like Paul. Paul has a good skill set. Can play off ball or on ball unlike Simmons and is a shooter. Paul is pretty athletic too just prefers to pull up rather than get to the rim like Simms. But Paul should be able to space the floor a uva lot better than Simms who allowed opposing teams to clog the paint and muck it up. Paul's defense is pretty good too just have to see him on someone NBA caliber.

Adios and don't let the door.....

He'll be buried on that Orlando bench though. Behind Fournier, Ross, Isaac and even Hezonja if he finally pulls his head out of his arse.

He should shine in the weak east.

Simmons probably thinks neither team is competing for a ring next year.
So he could be thinking

$6,000,000 in Florida > $9,000,000 San Antonio

guess he wants the nude beaches

[ducks]

Yep, he didn't wanna play for the Spurs anymore. Thanks Poo

sure it was not his turnovers and handles and shooting?

[ducks]

Th QO was pulled out bc his agent had made it clear he wanted out. He was going to sign with the highest bidder anywhere but the Spurs. I hardly think that is $ what he wanted. Rumors of 4 year deals, $50 million, then $40 million is what I have seen rumored. The Spurs best offered, per rumors was a moderate 9 mill per year, for 2 years with 1 year that I presume was a team option. He wanted more, tested the market, the market as we have seen wasn't at all what he (or many other agents let's be honest) expected. I think the ship finally really went south and things soured, when his agent was exploring potential sign and trades for Jsimms and after having reached an agreement in the Chandler/Simmons trade, the Spurs backed out at the 11th hour, I assume bc Joff Lauvergne became available all of a sudden at too cheap a deal to pass up on. considering that, Chandler in his contract for 2 seasons didn't make sense for the Spurs... they rejected that deal.. After that Simmons wanted out period.

Then you add in the fact that he maybe didn't have that strong an attachment to Pop and it's understandable.

good post

Do we have any money left like exceptions? Cause if Manu retires we're gonna have an open roster spot and we really need a 3.. I'm assuming Pau comes back and we indeed go smaller this year

Sort of like how some of the people saying that Patty was a steal this year for 4/50 were the same people screaming that he had to be traded NOW, last preseason?

12.5 for patty is looking like a steal

We need to trade Patty right NOW!!! Not because he's horrible or anything but solely for value.

[raybies]

Andersons chances at starting next season looking really good.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Meh. Good luck to him and the mess that is Orlando. Simmons needed 3 point spacing to operate, and Orlando has very little of that. Would've wanted him back but it should be easy to understand the saving route.

[kaji157]

This was a very good deal for the spurs. Not sure what happened.

[bklynspursfan]

What did Pop do exactly?

God damn it, JSimms. We have millions of walking land whales and a creek. If you squint really, really hard, you're practically on a Florida beach

[BatManu20]

Yep. He must've wanted out. Oh well.

[BatManu20]

I'll miss the highlights though tbh.

[Trill Clinton]

Damn I'm going to miss Simmons. The last dawg we had left on the team smh.

Massa Pop

Thinking LeBron would ever come here and play for such a jackass

He'll probably bench guys for celebrating in the 2020 olympics

carried by Tim, lucked into Kawhi

[spursince#99]

That's crazy. I hate PATFO.

This is probably the day racist PATFO had it.



The last guy that could wake up those fat AT&T Center fans. Gone. For 6M

[SpursforSix]

anyone that wants to "keep it real" can do it somewhere else

[Robz4000]

If he didn't have those issues he'd of gone for three times what he got. $6.5mil/year for JSimms was more than fine; even $9mil/year in this market was more than reasonable. Maybe BP grows into a better fit but JSimms was definitely a solid rotation player despite his flaws.
