the thing amongst others that drives me crazy about simmons being a tall guy who cant shoot yet does not play center is his ball handling and passing skills would be so much more valuable there, centers dont usually have those skills so if you put a guy who does at center then youre team has a skill advantage, if you play him at point guard he is just another point guard who can dribble and pass except he cant score

idk man. maybe if youre playing against old style teams with a big center. but with simmons at center youre playing small ball, and youre going to run into more and more teams who are also playing small ball but proper 5 out small ball where everyone can shoot
― micah, Monday, 21 June 2021 14:09 (two years ago) link
simmons can guard the 3pt line its no problem

okc would im sure be overjoyed to dump kemba, you want to talk about a contract that is actually underwater that is it

I really like Maxey, but I would have to give that some deep thought.
― Vin Jawn (PBKR), Monday, 21 June 2021 14:14 (two years ago) link
if anything okc getting to dump kemba and getting simmons and maxey for two picks is just not enough
― lag∞n, Monday, 21 June 2021 14:17 (two years ago) link
wizards might prefer to just deal directly with philly simmons maxey and a pick for beal

yes but in this theoretical scenario his team would still be disadvantaged on offence

Trading him now at his all-time low in value seems insane to me.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Monday, 21 June 2021 14:26 (two years ago) link
it does but not sure they have any choice, embiid calling him out in his press conference, fans hating him, its not good, and with the poor fit in philly are things really going to improve for him

i dont think necessarily, if he can develop into a good role man then you can punish the other team for going small, like do you really want marcus morris trying to stop that, ayton cant shoot but he was a problem for the clips going small yesterday, just one of those classic matchup imposing your will battles that make the game interesting
― lag∞n, Monday, 21 June 2021 14:28 (two years ago) link
his value might not even be an all time low, at least he is still young enough now to have some prospects for rehabilitation, if he still cant shoot a lick next season his value could tank... more

Why not fire Rivers first and see if that helps :)

Simmons can't handle Philly when the fans are uber positive trying to will him to make a FT. No way he can handle negative Philly.
― Vin Jawn (PBKR), Monday, 21 June 2021 14:32 (two years ago) link
feel like there's going to be a weird nexus where teams should only make buy-low offers but his perceived value/pedigree will make it hard for philly to accept a buy-low offer

Simmons better wear a helmet next year if he's still on the roster. They won't be dumping popcorn on the other team.
― Vin Jawn (PBKR), Monday, 21 June 2021 19:22 (two years ago) link
a helmet with a bowl on top, if the popcorn level exceeds the bowl's line, simmons may take all free throw points without shooting them.
― butyrate humbucker bobbins (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 21 June 2021 19:52 (two years ago) link
if the popcorn gets into his shorts, he is declared a literal "crumb bum" and is forced to move somewhere with moderate weather

I was going to post that yesterday, but just dngaf. It's either spin (and Morey is going to trade him before the draft) or the entire Sixers organization is ready to bet their futures on Ben Simmons being able to shoot.
― Vin Jawn (PBKR), Tuesday, 22 June 2021 13:11 (two years ago) link
there's a possibility that's their best route though if his value is low enough

reading hollingers draft board and theres no advanced stats in it, funny what working for an nba team will do to you, also he seems pretty down on this draft everyone loves, has cade number one but spends multiple paragraphs saying he doesnt think hes that good lol, thats hedging baby

thats the stuff
NBA referees will be trained to properly officiate the following actions used to draw fouls: - Shooter launches/leans into defender at abnormal angle- Shooter kicks leg at abnormal angle- Offensive player abruptly veers off path (sideways/ backwards) into defender https://t.co/9OzldXvH6u— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) June 22, 2021
