Lets say I was in the market for a big who plays like a guard and can't hit the side of a barn with a basketball;

I still wouldn't want Simmons.

This is now my favorite description of Simmons, lol. He's a disaster, with worse availability issues than anyone else we've discussed. And yeah, he's really not going to solve any of our issues. Guy can't even stay healthy at 20 mpg.

I think he could hit the barn but chooses not to.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

During the regular season, I agree.
However, I look forward to the summer Instastories with 50k production value of him tossing a ball at a barn and hitting it with ease.

Would at least get us a PG, which we desperately need.

Give him the BAE, that's more than the minimum.

If you're trying to build a team culture here, why the **** would you even consider this guy. Let him walk into the sunset.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

There better be no truth to this bs (period) lol

Last thing we should do is have this softie eat up our top 10 pick's minutes and ability to build up chemistry with the other young guys on the court.

CMB will legit be more impactful as a rookie than washed almost complete non scoring threat Simmons.
