Stein: Spurs Planning to Offer $9M/per to Simmons

[BatManu20]

Or in that range.

[Mal]

Good. Keep the guy

[TimDunkem]

Figured as much. Not an awful deal by any means. Especially when one-trick pony Green is making more currently.

[apalisoc_9]

I just puked. 9 Million for Simmons.

I have a headache.

[Dverde]

Danny Green needs to text LMA about his realtor's info.

[Darius Bieber]

Too much tbh.

[look_at_g_shred]

Bargain

[TimDunkem]

Green is making more right now people...And he sucks.

[Chinook]

If they can get him to agree to it, then they can work with his smaller cap number. Green being trade opens up a near-max slot, and certainly enough for two second-tier guys if LMA is moved.

I don't know how Simmons fits long-term unless Murray is the starter. I don't think Dejounte and Jon can play together, and Simmons and Leonard only fit if the PG is a Mills type.

[Ditty]

That's fair. He deserves it. I bet it's a 3 year deal also.

That's what I hope. My dream would be to move TP instead of Green...But yeah...

[RD2191]

Good move imo

[Robz4000]

I'm fine with it. He showed up when the Spurs needed him most in the postseason.

Everyone seems to be forgetting that

[loveforthegame]

Not bad really.

[eDizzle20]

I'm a Simmons fan. Only guy that showed up against GSW in game 2.

[picnroll]

I'm on board. Also a tradeable contract if needed. Reliable three point shot away from being a very good player.

He doesn't. Unless a desperate team like Knicks or Kings gives Hill a ridiculous offer, think the plan would be to sign Hill, trade Green and start Hill and Simmons while Parker is out. If Simmons struggles with starters and Murray proves worthy of a rotation spot in that time, eventually start Parker, slide Hill to SG and move Simmons to bench. Long term, hope Murray grows into starting PG and White into backup.

I mean 9 million per year isn't a lot. But rather have that cap space for next summer. Murray can pretty much do everything Simmons does. Except play 48 minutes of course.

Rare truthbomb.

Theyll get Simmons to verbally commit and he'll actually sign last if theres other significant FAs being signed first. With that timeline, Simmons' 9 million wont effect cap space.

[AFBlue]

A guy taking less than 1/10th of the available salary cap, who would likely be the first guy off the bench and long-term Manu replacement is an absolute steal tbh.

and do what with it, exactly?

[Hoops Czar]

Taking a chance on a johnny one note is risky business. He's had two sub par regular seasons and one good postseason. There's a lot at risk in terms of flexibility if it doesn't pan out.
