#24 Anfernee Simons

Just sayin, Dame put up a 9.5 PER with 35% FG and 30% from 3 in the playoffs this year. Turner/Mo weren't much better.

 

I'd say signing Turner was a big gamble too that also went poorly.

 

Very true. Although it was a universal head-scratcher, so almost should gave its own category.

 

Neither Turner nor Meyers are prima donnas that demand to start when they don't deserve it. I'll gladly take an extra year of Meyers waiving a towel from the end of the bench over one excruciatingly painful year of Carmelo sucking up 32 MPG and starting.

Besides, it's not like this is the ONLY way to dump those guys. This time next year, they will be expiring contracts who may be movable elsewhere.

Apples:Oranges. NOP was trapping Dame with two 1st team All Defense players. Melo was the 3rd option on OKC and bricking all kinds of open shots. Not the same thing.

This has probably been posted but whatever

 

I’d take an extra year of both over Carmelo. Dude is a primadonna, cancer to team chemistry, and an increasingly worse basketball player.

I wouldn’t trade ET for him, all things being equal.

 

A very fat and highly underpaid Mexican version of Qyntel Woods with a wife that puts up with way too much, apparently....

 

I just looked at Trader Bob's draft history....

It's fucking abysmal..

 

Yeah, Adelman would have LOVED to have had Simons.

 

NO was quoting a coach when he said that.

 

Project much? He literally could be mid sentence.

YOU'RE just mad. That's it.

 

This genuinely made me LOL.

 

I didn’t know you were supposed to smile while you drink water.

 

If Simons was going to be the #5 pick next draft, why did he enter this draft?

He would have lost one season of salary, if he went to college. But he would make about 3 times as much as the #5 pick vs pick #24 money.

 

I think he was the #5 high school prospect. Things change a little after a year of college, so he was never just the "#5 pick".

 

You're trippin. Dame's shot is probably just as low and that was a knock on him coming out of college. This kid will be fine.

 

Trade Bob SUCKED at drafting.

I'll let this speak for itself:

Because of the Louisville investigation. He as going to play for Pitino.

 

Thanks for the response , but, we know this, plus it does not answer my question.

Simons could have gone to another college. He was recruited by many schools, such as NC State, Florida, SC, & Tenn.
