People Dedmon and Simmons, but I'd much much rather pay them than pay Mills.
Bro... Bottom line Simmons left because he wasn't respected... He was the one guy that shut down harden in the playoffs... He is more skilled than Danny Green, yet green wasn't benched and put in the doghouse for games on end when he made the same mistakes Simmons used to make... No one wants that

is exactly that, he knew that if he stayed he would have to "prove" every game, while garbage would have time guaranteed
people seem to confuse 'most athletic' with 'best'.
This dude somehow managed to get a -9 on a 9 pts win on 30 minutes of play, while the other four starters of the Magic posted numbers of +15, +12, +12 and + 11. How can that even be possible?
true but it seemed that Dedmon and Simmons really didn't want to play in the 'soul box', they seem legitimately happier going to worse teams but with more shine. I wish it wasn't the case but the Spurs aren't for everybody. The Hawks are garbage and the Magic aren't much better but they seemed to want to go there. Simmons lost money to get out and it is not like the Hawks showed Dewayne the money. Though not sure how going to the Spurs of the East is much of a difference, maybe he wanted to be higher in the pecking order.
OP..
Simmons: 3-13, 1-5 from 3, 2 turnovers, -28
Manu: 2-5, 0 turnovers, +15
The Spurs were using Simmons like an outhouse tonight. Jon showed some flashes, but he couldn't put it together. I really needed him to produce for my FBB team this week, so it's not great that he looked so bad. But can't have everything.
I'm amused at when ppl cherry pick his bad games...and bring up +/-...on a bad team... Simmons is better than most of the players we have now and we lost out letting him go... Accept the facts
Still better than Patty.
last night was a reminder of why i was tepid to simmons. he makes a few nice plays and you think "this guy is great" and then the announcers mention he is 2 for 11 and you are reminded of just how inefficient he can be.
He is shooting a better percentage from the field than all of our shooting guards... Don't just watch one game against us
i just said that last night was a reminder of how inefficient he can be.
Still with that flawed logic I see.
If the only reason for Simmons to have negative impact numbers is because he is in a bad team, then why a guy like Vucevic, a fellow Magic starter, has positive metrics? And why did Simmons posted negative numbers last season on a 60 wins team? You need to look up how these stats work son.
He's balling out today
j-simms killing out there (7-8 3pt)
its nice seeing Simmons and Deadman doing good on 2 worst teams in the league. Must be good playing without any pressure all the games.
The money makes it worth it
Better than Mudrat, tbh.
While the likes of BP3 and Laughverne are playing on a playoff contenders. Makes no sense, tbh.
They do.
I'd also rather have those two than the guys we have, but Simmons would be limited here by Pop and would not play like he's playing for the Magic.
he did ... in the playoffs ...
in fact next year possibly without Ginobili and Forbes (I hope) he would be good for the bench (and with a great contract)
Play for Pop and eat bench? he could be a starter on any east team, and here he would be benched because of Danny Green?
Not good for business.
