I like it. Our bench looks really good now after having one of the single worst units in the NBA last season. Isaac, Simmons, Mack, DJ, Hezonja, and Biz can at least keep us in games instead of squandering the few leads we had. I'm on board with us, depending on how much money we gave to Simmons. I'm hoping it's not more than $8M a season.

wtf.

maybe we'll be decent defensively this year... but man oh man it's possible we're going to have the worst 3pt shooting team since dwight left and that's frightening. I hope EP, AG and Vuc come back with 3pt shots.

And the shooting guard / small forward rotation gets murkier.

Ballsy move #2

I think it means Ross is heading to the bench to back up Evan, while Simmons starts at 3 with Mario behind him.

Guess AG/Isaac won't be sharing the floor together at all unless there's a trade...

I'm extremely excited and thrilled about this signing. Simmons is a dog! A hustle player we need on this team.

How much cap did we have? He can't be signed for no more than 10m right?

This almost for sure means someone is being shipped out....I think.

Sweet!

Yesterday when I read S.A. pulled the qualifying offer I thought, "Whatever team picks him up will be well off." I never considered it would be us!

He wants to win and plays within the team. Just the kind of guy we need around here!

Who cares how it affects the rotation that some people have in their heads, with respect (Jerry O'Neill). I want the best players on the floor. If a guy like Mario or Ross gets bumped, oh well.

As others have said, this is interesting with much more info needed.

First we need to know the $. Second, we need to see if dominos begin to fall over the summer and even into the season with resulting trades.

I'll hold my judgement on this one until the trade deadline.

It looks like it might be difficult. Although it's easy to imagine Mario getting less playing time to free up minutes for one of them at 3.

Yeah of Mario has a poor start to the season again he's not getting on the floor I imagine.
