He could've used another year in college. He played very well at the beginning of the season, but tailed off when Trier came back.
Different skill set but he's similar to DJ Jr in the amount of work he'll need to take advantage of his assets. DJ put in the work, I have no idea if Simmons will humble himself and do the same. I hope so, it's always nice to cheer for a UA kid but isn't Kadeem still available too?
Slow typer, Boston took him before I could make a case for him.

Besides, seems like he legitimately wants to retire with us, and it's a bad look to cut him loose like that. I hope we keep him and give him a nice sending-off.
It's worth paying him just to keep him in the locker room.
Just keep him away from his teammates wives

SHAZAM!
Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Re: SPOILER Draft Thread
A good time to stop watching would have been 3 hours ago. No idea who we took in the 2nd round so I can't really weigh in much. Not big names and that makes it a little disappointing from a fan's perspective, fair or not.

Sounds like this dude is dollar store Markkanen. Really good shooter for a big, doesn't defend at all.

Lmao did McD unintentionally throw huge shade at Knight? Said we had a hole at the backup 2 guard behind Book and didn't even mention Knight.
