Don't know, because the Paul George contract could be worse.

I can’t think of any injury prone star that improved with age. Eventually the nagging injuries persist and the player becomes a shell of themselves rather quickly. Even the ones that return were not quite the same.

I feel for 76er fans, but it's as if Morey deserves this.

Simmons is expiring. It was bad once but is no longer a problem. He's played 29 games this season averaging 6/5/7. Someone might want his expiring at the deadline. Either way, in three months that contract becomes a memory.
