Simmons as our starting sg

[TheGreatYacht]

Simmons deserves credit for the good games he had, but people are overrating his overall post-season. Those saying that $11 Million a year is "not bad" or paying $8 Million each of the first two years is "a steal" are way off base. I'd be willing to try a one-and-one with him getting the opportunity as the third wing to see if he's a long-term guy. But he's far from the only Spurs reserve to put up good stats in the playoffs this year.

How is 8M/yr for Simmons not a steal when D-League Green, an inferior player, is getting 10M/yr and is a bargain in your eyes?

Green deserves credit for his performances in 2014 and prior, but he's been a negative since.

Simmons isn't better. He did play better in those last five or six games, though. Regardless, being a better value than Green wouldn't make him a steal. Nor would it make him proven.

The tweet from Pincus said that Spurs are only signing him if Manu retires. Very specific.

Whose Pincus?

But Simmons isn't actually a one-trick pony. He shoots, he drives, finishes layups, has the ability to become a one man fast break, and has decent court vision. I'm not saying he deserves a huge contract, but he's no one-trick pony.

Meanwhile, all Green does is clank threes. His defense has fallen off as well.

Even my ing grandma can see who's the better player out of the two.

Wtf. All he can do is drive. Not saying that isnt what spurs need, they do, but he cant do anything but head down and out athlete the defense.

Neither Green or Simmons are starters for a playoff team.

Whose Pincus?

Eric Pincus is a dude who does cover the NBA and knows his way around a CBA, if I remember right.

Likely, though, SAG was talking about David Pick, who tweeted this a couple weeks ago:

Sources tell me Euroleague DPOY Adam Hanga could land in San Antonio IF Manu Ginobili retires. Spurs 2011 stash.

Thanks.
I didn't want to have to dig that up.
I saw the tweet in these forums but don't recall where Nd have been busier lately.

I see, thanks

I'm pretty sure he was also the one of the founders of Lakersground.net. For what it's worth.
