No one is expecting Simmons to drop 20 PPG. It’s not his game. He’s still a better basketball player than freaking CJ McCollum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stats have gotten progressively worse in the second round each year and he has been like historically bad shooting FT to the point he's basically unplayable late in close games.

Yeah. He definitely needs a sports psychologist and IMO a change of scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think a change of scenery would do wonders for him. He just doesn't fit well with Embiid because both guys need to be surrounded by shooters. Simmons is definitely still a good player but he absolutely has to improve as a shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ McCollum over Ben Simmons lol come on. I’m really not seeing how you could think there is a big gap between them. Simmons is a tricky player to build around given his flaws and frankly isn’t good enough to justify constructing a team to fit him. He’s not a star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not a star With Simmons contract and playoff collapses it also becomes difficult to give up a ton of assets to acquire him. Especially with the apparent character concerns, guys don't really seem to like to play with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) Seen some Mike Conley to the Lakers vs S&T rumors popping up. Would love to send Conley + Favors to the Lakers for KCP + Kuzma. Then look to send Bojan + #30 to San Antonio to acquire DeRozan via S&T. Try to sign Derrick Rose with our MLE, go after vets like WCS and Torrey Craig on minimum deals. And then take a swing on a couple guys that need some career rehab on minimum deals like Kris Dunn and Stanley Johnson. PG: Mitchell | Rose | Dunn SG: KCP | Clarkson SF: DeRozan | Ingles PF: O'Neale | Kuzma | Craig C: Gobert | WCS Edited June 24, 2021 by NYRaider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vogel just said he hopes Drummond is a Laker for a long time and rumors started circulating today that the Lakers want to pursue Carmelo in free agency.
