Jonathon Simmons Likely to be Waived

[dabom6]

Lol. Thay was the point I was making. I guess you didnt read the posts carefully.

You mention the guards to fill up the 2 and 3 and name drop bertans and gay. Those guys are strictly 4s. got.

Simmons is still a good story though. He was in the friggin G league one year unknown and netted at 26M contract the next year. Imo, Amazing. It was his decision and a fair one but 20/20 now I'm sure he would like to be a Spur. He is 30 and dealing with injury. If we can get him under 2.5M yr for a defender off the bench, no brainer. But it has to be a mutual decision, could be burned bridges, hope not.
r for sure.

Simmons, along with Dedmon, were the ones who poisoned Kawhi against the Spurs. You have as much chance of being a Spur as they do of returning.

JS is a classic "gets mines" person who seems to think he's done more to get there than anyone else so he should be revered as an oracle of hard work and sacrifice. In reality he should be thankful he got into the NBA and fooled enough people. You take most mid to upper level G leaguers and put them on a team that moves the ball where said G leaguer isn't ever covered by anyone and said G leaguer should do well. That doesn't mean they are NBA material. When all the talent stacks on few big market teams, people like JSims is what you get.

Yup. Thought they’d ride his coattails to money and whatever else. There’s a reason Dedmon and Simmons outside of their play are considered untouchable by other teams

Source?

You don’t understand how sources work do ya precious.

You must be a burner account troll. Bye.

Lol. So Spurs sent Simmons packing? I dont think that's accurate.

Sports news is like Soviet newspapers...

But still it helps if it was written down somewhere.

I undestand just fine, i predicted the last Lakers season correctly with only Tim Bontemps backing me up in MSM.

[TD 21]

Well. He could shoot pre injury and usually it takes a year before they can even feel right let alone play right post injury. Walker IV and Johnson are not ready yet. White and Murray could very well be playing the 1 and backing each other up leaving Forbes, DeRozan, Belli, and Mills left to fill the 2 and the 3 maybe or Bertans and Gay. So, YES, there are plenty of players Simmons can defend over the rest of these guys. That along anothe strecth 4 unless samanic is ready alrrady too.

Simmons never could shoot, it's impossible to know at this point if Walker will be ready next season and whether they're playing the 1 or not, again, there's no player Simmons can guard that White and Murray can't (given the poor roster construction, we'll often see them, particularly the former, defend the best opposing perimeter player no matter the position).

So many posters here thought this man could be a starter on a contender

Not only was he a bench-warmer on a shallow Philly team, but a fringe playoff Orlando team removed him from its roster and made the playoffs (and unlike Tony Parker, he wasn't on the verge of retirement)..

I can't read BillMc's posts...my eyes can't focus after seeing the signature pics.

BillMc get's the award for signature of the century.

I wanted to see him get paid. He got a $20M contract, which should mean he's set for life if he managed it properly. He probably didn't.

[MoSpur02]

He should go play overseas and get paid.

[loveforthegame]

Wonder if he ends with the Clippers with his buddy Leonard?

Unfortunatley, only $1M of that contract was guaranteed in the final year...so it turned out to be $13M or so for him...

[lmbebo]

$13M still a lot of money, more than many of us will make in our life time. But still, prob lost it all.

Yep. It certainly is. I'm not sure if my memory is right on this (someone correct me), but I think he was looking for a contract in the $15M to $20M per year range at the time--so a mid-$50M contract...and the Spurs were willing to pay about $9M per year (rumors, though)...

Something like that. Spurs also were willing to pay him the same he got in Orlando, but he wanted to move on (kind of the same situation that Tony faced in terms of the Spurs willing to pay him the same deal he got from Charlotte but he wanted to move on.).

[RC_Drunkford]

will the Lakers sign him?
