Vaccinated playmaker who plays elite defense. At first I was fliping at anyone who's even thought about it. Now, I'm not sure about it.



Simmons is not vaccinated and frankly, he seems pretty toxic.

Somehow, I lost this detail in all of the Simmons media coverage. Yeah, he does us no good, as a wonky fit on the court and the same problem with vaccine status.

Can't remember who tweeted it but I've seen statement he is. One's I'll come across again I'll post it.

That toxic environment was created by Morey. They had no issue for years before. Also if we break down situations that were happening in Philly is not ideal for players to develop to say least. RoCo became player he is today after he left Philly, he was mediocre there. Therefore I do believe Ben can develop consistent jumper ones proper environment is there. We do have video showing him knocking jumpers in a pick up games vs other nba players. All it takes is right environment and coaching.

Heat and Boston turned out to be good game. Udoka gathered troops somehow and became a leader they needed.

Saltic depth is trash. Danny failed big time.

Miami going to need pkay great D in order to win. Scoring is hard to come by for them. Come PO they'll get exposed.

If you match Miami 's effort it's over for them. They offensively challenged team. Yeah it's early in a season but, roster has no organic scorer to rely on. When Jimmy and Bam is your best scorers you'll be tested to keep up scoring wise. They been overhyped for sure.

No they not. Banking on washed up flopper and inconsistent volume shooter :lol: bring them on. I take Bucks over them a threat any day. Saltics spanked them without Brown playing entire second half.

The heat destroyed the bucks by like 100. they beat them in the playoffs prior to last year. the bucks are not a great team. and they are injured too.

Miami is a lock 60+ win team. and the best defensive team we have seen in 30 years. They are built for the playoffs.

Lock? How much you going to bet on that, I'll take your money any day.

None of that prove they legit as you make them out to be. There's like 3-5 teams that can claim same.

Bucks
Nets
Jazz
Mavs

Simmons for Brown makes sense for both teams...

Read on Twitter


Sixers add a -2way guy, shooter and alpha (embiid is fugazy, he was his best with butler).

Celtics add a guy who doesnt need/want shots to remove the Tatum/Green ballhog dynamic. Simmons becomes the pass first offens creator boston has lacked

Return to Brooklyn Nets
