It seems like they are going to stay with Morris....BStevens has been going on and on about how great he has been. Brown is going to be available at some point.

Sorry guys. Wasn't really trying to blow the Simmons' trumpet here. (Feels like there is a Kendall joke here..) More interested cause Zach threw out possible trades and I just wondered if this team got better with Simmons and whether the Sixers do with Mitchell. I get that this wouldn't happen...

That doesn't make me feel so bad... (Considering it's less than two weeks old :) ) Unless of course you are still hungover from NYE and stuck in 2018??

He has always been much lower on Simmons than some. I think Simmons is polarising that way. Nate Duncan thinks Simmons is good etc, Danny Leroux (his running mate) seemingly thinks that Simmons could be the best in the future. I think Zach is more in the Nate Duncan mould.

Are you serious? I don't get your tone. Why do you think its sweet to talk trash about Mitchell like that on here? You either can't read a room - or are simply a troll. I don't like labelling anyone - but what is that mate... 76ers would strongly consider that trade - cause atm what they would...

Really? Fall down laughing. Doubt that.

Yep. Butler wants more pnr action and many Philly fans think Brett Brown is covering for Simmons and protecting his role at the expense of Embiid and Butler. Overall it is just a question of fit. Three ball dominant (not great shooting) dudes with no bench. Been some apparent frustration that...

Excellent post. I do think the ideal guys for someone like Simmons - Simmons/Cov/Tatum/Middleton/Lopez Mitchell on the other hand seamlessly fits into almost any lineup.

There are rumblings. You do realize Simmons won't like playing second or third fiddle longterm - epecially if it means he is being forced off ball for long periods and not being used in the post. Ben Golliver and others have hypothesised that Simmons' team will not let his value drop and...

This is an interesting idea. Might turnout to be true given their different shooting pedigrees. But I do think we are seeing Simmons' floor atm. But ceilings are sometimes not worth risking much for. Mitchell to me in some way is the 'safer' bet on being able to significantly contribute to a...

Yeah I guess so. But hmm. I doubt this Simmons is the Simmons one would get in two-three years time. Mind you, that argument can kind of be made for Mitchell too.

The talk is beginning. They may not get out of the first round this year. I think it is touch and go whether they can make it work. Lowe has always been a bit agnostic about Simmons but he thinks it's a possibility. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25723296/sixers-fit-great-that-matter

Isn't that the exact team the Jazz would put around a guy like Simmons?

Haha.. Now that is true (imagine how many more people like me turn up).

Yeah. Cause Rubio = Simmons smh :)

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25723296/sixers-fit-great-that-matter Zach Lowe mentioned a bunch of possible trades for Simmons :) I have wondered a little over the past year whether Simmons and Mitchell switching teams would make either team better. (He did mention a direct swap) Simmons...

I def like the guy. Is pure baller and plays with high IQ and proficiency. I just can't agree it is good for the Jazz longterm if he shows up the other two. Just doesn't have the ceiling of X in particular. But I totally get where you're coming from, with his reliable shot and other things...

I agree. Belittling....eat popcorn blah. No different to Durant - "Shut up and watch the ****ing game". At least Durant was addressing opposing fans.

Tbh, this from Joe Ingles is one of the reasons I don't love him (just cause he is an Aussie). He plays the larrikin easy going cool dude Aussie, but deep down is fiercely competitive (which is good) but then thinks that he is above being booed by passionate fans? It's their love for the team...

I hear you. I think though it is accentuated when the player is being relied upon to shoot and initiate a lot for that many minutes. A lower usage player or player that relies less on scoring can play 40+ 24 minute halves pretty easily. But in any case he did get two short rests in the 2nd half...
