    Simmons had a bad wrist injury to end last season and it looks like it might've ended his career. Too bad.

    The dude was a late first very few of these guys ever stay in the league very long much less get a second contract. Never thought he had any upside but he was a decent guy in the 13th to 15th team bench range. Good for him he is making millions but am glad it’s for another team.

    No no we just have to move Mills and Forbes

    No he's not, Kyle has a 4 year guaranteed contract. Simmons is done next season. After that he's going to be scrambling for the vet min, given how his ORL time has gone. He's also going to be 31, and doesn't have the best locker room reputation...
    Simmons can actually put a highlight reel featuring Van Gundy slurping all over him to fool some dumb GM into paying for his athleticism... Kyle's highlight reel is 30 seconds long while he's making a dumb crossover his defender didn't bite...

    Pop did to Kyle what he did to Cunningham and other scrubs too: Make them look better than they really are, because of the system

    Certainly can't rationalize why he's so passive. If anything, it seems like Pop might have been helping him in that regard. Anderson isn't a good enough facilitator to have the ball in his hands enough to play like he did in the summer league. Dude has to make more of the touches he does get if he wants more. For his sake, I hope that JB can get that through his head. Anderson hate was a uniting force on this board last year, but he's still better than people like to argue. But damn, man, what's the excuse now?
    there was never an excuse.

    he is who we thought he is, and we let of him off the payroll

    Seriously, though, Kyle and his father seemed to believe that Pop wasn't letting Anderson flourish. It's easy to look at someone who doesn't play with confidence and argue that the coach should be able to fix that. I did that with Anderson; a lot of folks are doing that with Bertans right now. The way they seemed to celebrate when SA didn't match the offer sheet made it seem like they did feel really suppressed with the Spurs. Now he's with a new team that obviously believes in him and invested him and who needs his skills, and he's pretty much the same, if not even a little more passive offensively. It's messed up.Maybe he won't do anything until he's expiring and really feels his NBA mortality.

    I always thought he was decent as a role player in the right situations. Not a $9.4M per year guy. The Spurs were right to let him walk. He was never going to be a game changer, but he'd be a good, albeit small, piece on a championship caliber team. This Spurs team isn't deep enough to maximize the talent he has to offer.

    Let me put it a different way...if the NBA gave out an 11th man award, Kyle might just get it.

    this. His biggest advantage is that he can play 4 positions, so wherever you got an injury you could plug him in. 11th man is his ideal role

    He was just a younger, nutless version of Dante Cunningham.

    Not for 4 years 36 million they don't. That was a bullet dodged. They more miss having a SF who isn't injured all the time

    I miss ol' SloMo. He was unexciting to watch but, every night you could count on him for both defensive and offensive rebounds and some nights a bunch of them. He always had one of more blocks, steals and assists. He was Hi BB IQ. We could really use him and Danny Green right now. Defense is pretty much non existent with this stew team.

    Considering they're playing Cun and Pon, yeah, they miss Anderson. It's hard to pay him so much if he won't actually try to be a plus on offense, though. He'd be the third-best big on the team right now, and had the team known Forbes was going to be a regular starter, they could have made Anderson work with DeRozan and Aldridge. Still, I understand letting him go, because they needed a better SF than Kyle. They just didn't get it.
