You guys think his family’s allowed on the plane?
33 minutes 6 pts on 2-9 shooting. His numbers are finally catching up to his accostumed team worst +/-, which in this case was -22.

Considering he has like 20 kids, I doubt it.
this was savage. Made me laugh.
Somebodys been appreciating my humor!!

Ah, FAP finally decides to bump the thread after he had a string of games averaging 22/6/5 on good shooting percentage
Spent all summer riding him and then got embarrassed once games started being played. Even had to rely on nothing but +/- knowing he's in a mediocre team. Sad!
More like a ty team, because if 11-21 is mediocre...Ah, FAP finally decides to bump the thread after he had a string of games averaging 22/6/5 on good shooting percentage

He'd be the best guard on this team, tbh.
No he wouldn't, because Pop wouldn't let him open up his game enough to be so. Which was his main complaint and one of the reasons why he left.
Pop is a dual-edged sword.
He'll do things to help the team win at an extraordinary clip, but also mishandle many things along the way to push his team even further.
If he's in such a bad team and his teammates are so ty it shouldn't be so hard for Simmons to not post the worst +/- of the entire team game after game, tbh.Ah, FAP finally decides to bump the thread after he had a string of games averaging 22/6/5 on good shooting percentage

It's a mystery, wrapped inside of an enigma, surrounded by a conundrum called: Playing Losing Basketball.If he's in such a bad team and his teammates are so ty it shouldn't be so hard for Simmons to not post the worst +/- of the entire team game after game, tbh.
Nobody will ever figure it out, tbh.

I'm with you on that, tbh.
But you disagree with the rest?

i dont think you understand how plus/minus works...If he's in such a bad team and his teammates are so ty it shouldn't be so hard for Simmons to not post the worst +/- of the entire team game after game, tbh.

I don't think you understand that guys on the Magic playing as much or more than Simmons don't get as bad as +/- stats.
Production and health are also important in evaluating a player.
After a fluke start to the season, Simmons 3pt shooting has come back down to Earth and is now at 31%.
And his metrics are now the worst of his career. OBPM: -1.3 / DBPM: - 2.0 / BPM: -3.2 / VORP: -0.3
Nothing to see here, Simmons proving to be the mediocre player all smart posters in here thought he was.
I am not going to say he's a great player or even a much above NBA average one but a lot of the time a guy playing a big role on a ty team can be a more efficient more impactful player used wisely on a better team with better parts plans and leadership around them. Alot also depends on the player and how willing and smart enough they are to fit into the better teams role for them. Simmons is a player that is athletically very good but nneds to develop a bit more on his timing and control. However he didn't get drafted and really needed to cash in on his good play-off performance from last year. The Spurs couldn't offer him the contact he wanted that fit where he was in life. The magic did. I don't blame him, I think that after his three years with the magic he will get a final two year contract with another team where he is a backup role player. If he had been a few years younger when he came to the Spurs we would have kept him and he would have developed more here and ended up with a better career but the chips just didn't fall the way everyone would have hoped for Mr. Simmons.
Well, that's something Simmons didn't prove to be on his two years here. It's also something he wasn't willing to be, considering his comments about wanting a bigger role and what not.
He was decent in limited playing time last year as a second year player. Then had a good play-off; issue is he was a late 20s guy who has some mental maturity to gain no a huge amount of upside and mostly physicality making him special. From his point of view he was needing a major pay increase to stay because honestly at his age he was only going to see 1 maybe 2 top tier role-player contracts. From the Spurs point of view he was an alright slightly head strong player that was somewhat of a fan favorite but fairly replaceable. The magic offered what he wanted cash wise the Spurs didn't in two years he will have the chance to try again as long as he remains healthy and has a good at ude. The at ude issue is what got Neal in trouble. Choo choo. Otherwise Neal and Mills are literally the exact same player.
