Nah. He's actually bitter when the Spurs didn't give him the contract. Instead of being grateful, he actually made an indirect hate post to the Spurs I believe. Good for him for getting that contract but probably hist last.
there's no point...
not only has he been something of a trainwreck in recent years, but he'd do nothing but take valuable minutes from lonnie

i remember he had like one nice game in the wcf after kawhi went down, where he shot like 7-17 or something, and the hype took off. spurs got swept with him as kawhi's replacement. some nice dunks tho.
The Spurs did offer him a deal but he wanted to be released as per the articles below.

The articles under here have proof of what I said about him wanting more guaranteed and bigger role. Quotes coming from his mouth.

He thought he was better and worth more than what San Antonio or any team was willing to offer him. He did get a solid deal from Orlando but it wasn't what he wanted the Spurs to pay him.

Welp.
Somebody bit the hands that fed him in an effort to get more than he could chew
Whom, whomp, whomp!
Simmons saw that he was clearly of more value tha patty mills and wanted to be treated as such, and u ppl in here are mad at him for feeling like that? Yall would make great slaves... Anyone that goes against Massa is bad, right?
You are beyond re ed
Agree. This is a classic progress stopper situation
He can play in China. Or in the Philippines.![]()
How far do you think Lonnie Walker has advanced?
Weren't him and Dedmon leaving part of the reason Kawhi was unhappy?
they were his bff's on the team
yeah. Cut or see what you can get for Patty, Marco and Forbes. Simmons is more of a SF and did really well under our system. Need some players with some balls out there. Current team is waaaay too soft. A lot of this has to do with (I think) the whole playing defense without fouling point of emphasis thing. Yes fouling is bad but the refs adjust to aggressive teams. (See Raymond G.) We need some misfits on the damn team to stir up. Patty, Marco and Bryn have done good things for us but in an ever-changing NBA you cant be stuck on "loyalty". It's a damn business.
Go away dummy... U can't even formulate a legible counter argument
. I love the spurs but I absolutely hate their fan base. These are the type of people I avoid in a daily basis and carry guns to protect myself against. This is why no one but washed up players seeking a last big pay day wants to play for us anymore.
Yes, I'm sure it's because the fans don't want their team to sign awful players. The guy was straight doodoo for the Spurs. There really isn't any way to argue otherwise.
No. Just, no.
Who did he think he was--Patty Mills?
Lol the usual PATFO fluffers getting their assholes ready with lube because they didn't sign Simms. They tried, just got curved. Kind of like when Pop flew to California twice to beg Kawhi to stay in his plantation and got rejected
The expanded definition of slavery: being paid $19 million to sit on your ass and then force your way to another team. Damn, the Spurs should pay him reparations.
A lot of folks need to chill with comparing anything like this to slavery because it's very disrespectful to people who were actually enslaved. I do understand the correlation and why people make the comparison but it's still extreme.
Being a celebrity and especially a professional athlete is kinda like being in the military in my opinion. You Volunteer to sign up, you have great chances to get promoted in your field, being a former member can assist you greatly in future employment opportunities, you receive decent pay and benefits, and you constantly get guidance and structure on how to complete the tasks at hand.
The draw backs are a hectic schedule because you're pretty much on call 24/7 and 365 days of the year, you have to wear uniforms to work, drug testing, constantly have to do community service type projects to help promote your employer, and always have to be cognizant of how you carry yourself in public to avoid making your employer look bad.
Of course being a celebrity isn't as strict and way more lucrative than the military but they a similar in my opinion
I don't blame him. One should always try to take advantage of the moment because you never know how long it will last
