Defense be damned, I still think Simmons is the best option we currently have.

Dishonest? You're thinking too much or too little...I was just stating what his salary was, for scale. Pritchard is as amazing a deal as KCP is a bad one.

Again, not anti-KCP, Goga, or even WCJ...the deals are bad not the players.

sorry my comment was for harris...
i dont even think the other deals are bad...but i do wish kcp 3rd season was t.o. not p.o...but with his agent that was never going to let that happen...lol
i also see most fa signings costing 20-25% more..unless you are real top few competing teams might get fair or under market.but you do not give assets


Makes the signing of the wrong guy at the wrong position with the wrong skillset even stupider :banghead:

looking at it now sure...to be fair only saw a games of full lineup...even lebron,wade and bosh took half a season to click?

If he is willing to take less than 90M / 4yr deal to play at home (and pay less taxes) ,he could be a good fit.
With that wingspan, playing along suggs+ KCP and being coached by mose, there are no reasons why he couldn't become an ok Defender

How is Simons playing alongside KCP?

KCP is coming off the bench or he is being moved if they re-sign Simons.

Waste of money.

Paying KCP $23m/2 to come off the bench to play 20-24 mpg. Thats starter money.

Simons would be awesome off the bench. He’ll get all the touches he needs to be effective.

Simons would instantly be Orlando's best back court scorer if acquired.

He isnt coming off the bench for bum KCP.

NBA combine measurements

Sexton:
W/o shoes 6' 0.5''
Standing reach : 8' 2.5''
Wingspan: 6' 7.25


Simons:
W/O shoes: 6' 2.25
Standing reach: 8' 3.5'
Wingspan: 6' 9.25

Quickley:
W/O shoes: 6'2
Standing reach: 8' 3.0'
Wingspan: 6' 8.25

Coby white:
W/O shoes: 6'3.5
Standing reach: 8' 1.5'
Wingspan: 6' 5

Tyler Herro:
W/O shoes: 6'4.5
Standing reach: 8' 4.5'
Wingspan: 6' 3.25

Derrick White:
W/O shoes: 6'3.25
Standing reach: 8' 5.5'
Wingspan: 6' 7.5

Austin reaves:
W/O shoes: 6'4.5
Standing reach: 8' 5
Wingspan: 6' 6.25

Malik monk:
W/O shoes: 6'2.25
Standing reach: 8' 3
Wingspan: 6' 3.5

I know measurement don't always translate in Defense, but Simons should be an above average defender with those tools

If he agrees to extend with us for less than 96/4 yrs, i m ok trading for him

Cole + #16 + Harris (exp) + Jett (young prospect) for Simons
Suggs, Tyus, Jase
Bane, AB, Jett

The central point that if SImons and Caldwell-Pope are both on the roster - Simons starts - is accurate though.

They'll probably just let Harris walk to stay under the first apron. I just read if the Cavs pay Jerome $14m next season , it'll cost them $78m in taxes.

Yes, but Calling a NBA player a BUM is DUMB :-)

Suggs,AB
Simons,KCP

Would be very solid and knowing how tough and long is a season, KCP would get many minutes (keep in mind that KCP can play minutes at SF too)
