Letting Simmons walk for chump change helped kill the contender status of the Spurs, combined with the deals for Mills and Pau
I saw the game, the Cavs aren't even trying right now. Still pretty good game by Simmons.
It was obvious that with more minutes and a bigger role Simmons was going to put some games like these, he did it with the Spurs too. Still, if you look at his overall numbers for the entire season they are pretty much what I expected, i.e: not very good.
Simmons is what we already knew: a journeyman that can slash a bit but that's it. He can't shoot, he can't create (lol as many turnovers as assists) and now he doesn't even defend.
But nice once in a month bump as always, tbh.

I think the Spurs were a little up themselves and thought they could just get someone like Brandon Paul, plug him in and he'd be the same player Simmons was for them, but at a much cheaper price.
They were wrong.
TheGreatYacht's once every blue moon overreaction to a single game performance? Yeah, I agree. Some people just can't help but at small sample size instead of looking at the big picture, tbh. I don't know if it is because it helps their agendas or because they are just short sighted.
I don't bump Simmons threads every game bc i have better to bump but it surely ain't because he's been awfulBut nice once in a month bump as always, tbh.
Still... that's more than you bump your BP3 takes
Dude, he really hasn't been that good at all, tbh. If he was still here, people would be ing about his scrub ass.
I do rather have signed him to a 20 millions/3 year deal than signing Mills and Gasol for what they got, but that's more an indictment of how bad the Gasol and Mills contracts are than anything else, tbh.
Its been said before but Simmons seemingly didn't want to be a Spur so it's not like the Spurs could force him to stay (or at least it isn't their MO). Regardless, I'd much rather have him than Paul.
Everyone has an agenda. You obviously didn’t want Simmons on the team. Are you happy with the current, post-Simmons roster?
Simmons knew he was the best SG on the squad (and it wasn't close) but was rightfully pissed when Poop continued to put him in the doghouse despite shining when he did get minutes, ESPECIALLY in big time games against the Warriors Cavs and Rockets. I'm sure some locker room politics went on from the other SG's on the team. It is what it is. Poop stayed loyal to GLeague and Manure.
No, but that has nothing to do with Simmons, tbh.
FWIW, I already said that I would rather have Simmons on his current contract than Mills and Gasol for theirs. But that doesn't mean that Simmons isn't the same limited journeyman I always knew he was. If you look at the OP folks were talking about giving Simmons a contract similar to what Patty got. That would have been just as bad (if not worse) than giving it to Mills.
OKC is heavily linked to him right now with the deadline approaching. I'd kill to see him outplay Fathead (like he always has and will) and give Pop the middle finger while the old man is on his way to vacation.
No, it does. There’s no point in griping about Simmons stats when you would prefer him to the current roster. That’s why your take is godawful.
At least he could penetrate to get his own shot or create for others. He could attack without a pick.
Pop gets on his guys to "pass, dribble, or shoot". But nothing happens because nobody can dribble TO the rim. Even with a pick, it's so hard for them to do.
With Simmons that's no problem.
And he defends better than the midgets
Except, back in reality, we know that Simmons would take 50-60 cents on Patty’s dollar.
Can you read? I would rather have him over Mills and Gasol on their current contracts. That doesn't mean I want him on the roster. I would rather have none of the three, tbh. And it also doesn't mean that I think Simmons is better than Gasol and Mills. Gasol is easily >>>>> Simmons, but his contract is so bad that I would rather have a scrub like Simmons only because he makes a lot less money and doesn't compromise our cap situation. Now you get it?
If OKC gets him, the Spurs will look EVEN STUPIDER. He'd be great, they can probably get him for Abrines and a 2nd.
That would be the perfect disgrace.
And we also know that he didn't want to stay a Spur so...
Again, what is the point in ing about a players stas when you would take him on your team. Regardless of whether you think his stats are terrible, which is debatable, you still think he’s a net improvement over the status who. How are you not understanding this, it’s a really simple point.
We do? I remember it being the opposite, but could be wrong. Link?
It'd be such an Alpha Presti move. I love it
That's the fake news the Spurs fans use to get to sleep.
Yeah, he REALLY wanted to have a small partially guaranteed 3rd year to come off the bench for a lottery team.
Is OKC after him? Spurs would look stupid if OKC get him and he becomes a big part of their rotation.
My recollection is PATFO low balled him (compared to the 6/year he got), and people here buy the narrative he wanted out.
But it’s ok because we signed Patty instead.
