    Really frustrating when you have Phil Knight waiting right there...

    Should the Blazers be interested?

    Someone is going to get a cheap defender off the bench.
    Lakers, Clippers, Phoenix, Warriors?

    I bet the under on Simmons making 1.5 3pt this season ... Hoping a release doesn't mean the bet is a tie, would hope I won or its his entire season stats.

    Phoenix would be funny with him joining Durant again. The Clippers would be odd too as he got traded for Harden.

    If he and Durant got along he would be perfect for them. Hell, he could start there and fill a huge need. As a point forward they could start two shooting guards next to him. He would never need to shoot with Beal, Booker, and Durant on the floor.

    He will be playing for his next contract

    I bet this would have been a fun thread to go back through.

    Funny looking at page1 where people were salavating over Skal Labisse. Was supposed to be a more aggresive LMA. He ended up being a dissapointment and we actually had him on our roster for awhile before he dropped out of the league.

    Simmons is now available for the minimum at age 28.

    I mean I'm all about trying to get a good lottery pick here or there, but its amazing how many top lottery picks are never difference makers. Even ones that make allstar games early in their careers often become irrelevant. Simmons is far from the only case.

    I don't know why any team would want him, he doesn't help.
