    Shooting stats on a tanking team seem flawed to me. The better players are forced to take some bad shots because the other options are very limited. Although 15 shots per game is slightly more than anyone else on the team this year, it is still barely in the top 50 in the league. Regardless his shooting stats have improved each month this season

    Ideally, Scoot will eventually beat him out as the starter on merit, and Simons can do what he does best off the bench. Still only 25 he would be a very good 6th man on a good team.
    If you can't get any value for him then keep him and re-sign him to a team-friendly amount, or let him walk if he is offered more.

    if the timing is some sort of issue for you, maybe get mad at whoever bumped this old thread instead of those reading whats in front of them?

    & while playing spelling police is generally pretty poor internet behavior, misspelling a guy's name twice and then getting defensive about doing so is worse. So you've got that going for you...

    Not defensive about anything, just amused to be reprimanded so much time after the fact. Didn't even remember writing it.

    Also, I can assure you I am going to continue misspelling people's names in the future, that's just not something that bothers me when discussing stuff on a fan message board.

    don't worry about it. If I was asked to spell your name I'd take a mulligan

    I honestly am not worried about spelling, I do like mr. Stomp's defense of

    Yes your honor, I did a shitty thing, but the "victim" really deserves it and is defensive.

    Funny.

    Hey, it's a public forum, people can get their jollies however they want, I am all for people enjoying themselves.

    Sure thing. I have some star trek fan fiction I wrote as a teenager, want to do me a solid and spell check that too?

    Also my college application essay? Sure, I graduated a million years ago, but let's cross all them ts and dot all them is.

    Thank you very much for your kind offer, but to save you some time going forward, no, I do not need spelling remarks on something not important I wrote 11 months ago, but if it makes you happy, go ahead.

    I read some Piers Anthony SF when I was young(er). He was kind of weird

    I enjoyed them initially, but it became very repetitive and there was always the same formula - so I got out of it.

    yeah, I remember the Omnivore and Tyrant of Jupiter novels. They were pretty simplistic and formula

    ever read the two Hiero novels by Sterling Lanier?

    Ant is a bucket who is a liability on defense. I think he's either a good third option scorer in a starting lineup full off really good defenders or a sixth man of the year candidate. If that's a budding superstar... oh yeah that's definitely not a budding superstar but I think it probably has some trade value to some teams, Orlando seams like the most logical fit.
