With Simmons, it's not just that he can't shoot, he simply won't shoot. He doesn't even try to keep the defense honest. When the game slows down in the playoffs, his defender plays so far off him, it junks their offense.KuruptedCav wrote:jbk1234 wrote:It looks like the Cavs are a team with zero spacing. You'd probably have to send out both Okoro and Sexton just to make it workable (while keeping your pick to draft a wing), and even then, I think it will be a disaster on offense. You'd have to add Prince's expiring to make salaries match and he had the highest three point percentage on the team last year.

I was thinking Sexton, Osman, Pick or Okoro. Figure with Thybulle, Okoro might not be the best fit.
Locking in Garland, Simmons and Allen in makes the target players really easy to identify, punts on the Sexton issue, and makes Love a possible play. I just like the defensive potential.

Hes been in the league a long time. That's a lot of offseasons to work on his jumper and he either hasn't done it, or even worse, he has and it hasn't helped, like at all. Non-zero chance that over the next two years Sexton improves his defense, Okoro actually develops a jumper, and Simmons is the worst of the three.

I share the sentiment that Ben Simmons isn’t worth his contract. But I also think most of the 25 players in the $30mil club aren’t worth their contracts.
Ideally, I’d love to see a
Garland/Sexton/Simmons/Nance/Allen team where bothSexton & Garland make the jump to triggering 8-10 3pt shots per game with efficient players behind them who can clear the boards, cover on defense, and score at the rim.
But, I don’t really see a path that doesn’t send Sexton or Garland out.
