    Kids are a great reason to retire. I wonder if his numbers and steep decline in athleticism had anything to do with it.

    It was on the news on TV. Just probation and community service.

    Watch Simons get traded to the Nuggets and get a championship.

    Simons won’t win a ring on a team that plays him starter’s minutes. If he wins with Denver it’ll be like Walton’s ring with Boston

    Any team that would start him despite his defensive liabilities is in no good position to win a championship. Might not be a perfect rubric but I bet it’s pretty solid.

    Not sure I agree with you. I can name a few that could make a run with him at SG.
    By the way his defense isn’t that bad.

    You people on here crack me up. You act like there has never been a player on a championship team that was weak on defense. Think before you type. I DAMN sure know there were players on championship roster that couldn’t SCORE like Ant. You guys think winning a ring is some sort of a way of measuring a players value and greatness. I’ve got JR Rider and Adam Morrison on Line 1 if you want……and on Line 2, Karl Malone, Pat Ewing and Barkley.

    This isn’t about “guys with weak defense” and it is certainly not about what that says about a guy’s legacy. This is literally about one guy and one situation.

    No team who starts Anfernee Simons will win a championship while he’s starting. Those are the parameters of my statement.

    I like the guy too. But he is not a championship level starter.
