The Ben Simmons Megathread - Part III

PLO · Post #1801 » by **PLO** » Mon Dec 16, 2019 4:50 am

I prefer Richardson over D'Lo, though I respect the opinion of the poster Negrodamus who does like D'Lo. As others have said here, D'Lo is very inefficient for a high volume guy and doesn't play a lick of D. Kobble, you can't expect us to take those stats seriously without the context of D'Lo's efficiency: just comparing raw per-game point totals tells us nothing about how bad D'Lo has been for most of his career in terms of being a chucker. He's also on a huge contract for a player of his characteristics. At least when Richardson's shot isn't falling you know he's going to bring it on the other end of the floor - Richardson is just a lot more valuable player to a contender especially when you look at their contracts.

Russell has more offensive firepower than Josh, but Josh has some high volume ability too. His ability to actually affect the game defensively when he's not scoring well is where Philly would miss him.

There are moves out there for this team to make. Russell is not it. Philly would be stupid to make this trade, but legitimately it would make more sense to trade Simmons for Russell than Josh. Reason being is while the talent and even production is better from Simmons, Russell being a 3pt shooting kinda point guard would complete this teams needs offensively with proper spacing for Joel and Tobias, while still clearly hurting it defensively. While Richardson is a rather complete player that doesn't hurt the team anywhere.

Either way, Russell isn't the answer

I like DLO in the context of signing him last summer, if that was ever on the table. I even like him over Richardson in this case, not because of the direct comparison of DLO to Josh, but because Josh is somewhat redundant in his role on this team with Thybulle and Ennis providing the 3&D at the guard position.

DLO has the potential to take over games, offensively, with his scoring and passing. Currently Embiid and, somewhat, Tobias are the only ones on this team who can do such a thing.

All that said, of the guys who are out there that provide similar production, I'm not sure he's my first target.

I'm fairly certain that Dlo's scoring efficiency will be better in his prime years than it is/was during his pre-prime, age 19-24 seasons. Bet on talent. Bet on production. You'll win out a lot more than you will if you just stare at plus/minus metrics.

It's gonna be kinda awkward at family dinner on Christmas, given Simmons' sister blasted Jenner on social media about all the basketball players she's banged.

As many girls that he as access to, don't know why this issue comes back.

I mean I have some exs that would never go away, but I'm not an NBA player. I don't see how I would want to publicly date a girl that has been with so many NBA players, I just don't see it, and every time you play against someone who hit it....it just gives them more to talk noise to you about.

I remember what my mom told me when I was upset over a woman, she said, 'its just a hole, I'm tired of you being upset, move on and find another one'. That was from my mother lol.

Ben play basketball, become a legit all star, all that drama is doing is holding you back Ben.

I woke up with waves of sharp pains in my abdomen this morning. I thought perhaps I was feeling a kidney stone traveling through me. Turns out it was just this post.
