There is a reason not many teams seem to be interested in him. He is just a flat out negative NBA player his whole career. Maybe we can cover him better with Suggs and co and he becomes valuable but the chances are pretty high too, that his Acquisition ends up like like many of those onedimensional/flawed scroring guards before. LaVine, Schröder, Beal, DeRozan, Green, Russell, Murray, RJ... all those guys doesnt made there (new) teams better for a reason. Empty stats Ivey being hurt and defensive monster Thompson in is one of the reasons for Detroit becoming a winning team.
In Theory Simons helps us because he can do things we miss but stats dont lie, even more over such a large time. There is a good chancec in 2 years he is gone again because he isnt a winning player.
My biggest hope is that we're such a super oddly constructed team, that he might look a lot better with us than with anybody else, because the things we're bad at, we're so bad at that even a super flawed guy like him could have a bigger impact than with any other team in the league.![]()
But if we add a defensive liability guard i would give up much more for Reaves than Simons as example.
many teams throughout the years were able to take bad defensively guards and cover for them and make them productive.
