Trade for Ben Simmons

Simmons isn't a super crowder though. Crowder shoots hella threes stretches the floor and is a tough guy.
Simmons literally never ever shoots threes and is a fake tough guy.

Simmons might be the best perimeter defender in the league though. I know he can’t shoot like Crowder but I was more talking defensively.
 
Simmons
Mitchell
Bogdanovic
MLE
Gobert

Ideally we use the MLE on someone who is at least a decent defender and can stretch the floor.

I don’t know but I think that team could compete for a championship.
 
Zanik just said Jazz desperately need two-way players
Simmons is not a two-way player

Well DL thinks Oni could be one of the best defensive players in the league so I’m not sure I really take a lot of stock into what they said at exit interviews.

I think he is the best perimeter defender in the league. He also might be the worst perimeter offensive player in the league. I mean he just set an all time NBA record for worst free throw shooting and would also set the record worst 3 point shooting if he dared shoot any. I would feel more comfortable with Rudy shooting 3's than Simmons. And way way more comfortable with Rudy at the line. That's sad.

That offense is so bad that I don't want any part of him.

Depending on who is at that 4 spot it doesn't look so bad I guess

If he could shoot he’d be untouchable and would be a top-10 player in the league. You have to give and take. Maybe we can work with him and make him passable on offense. His stock is at an all-time low right now. If you believe in him now is the time. I feel like he’d be amazing playing with Donovan and Rudy.
 
Simmons just signed an enormous contract
How can Jazz afford three max type contracts for next five years

Those three would only be 95M of cap and we’d be close to the 136M luxury tax with everyone else. It’s not that hard to fathom. Just think of combining Clarkson/Royce/Ingles into one salary.

If you believe in Simmons you have those three locked up for 3-4 years and you go for it.
 
He will be making 30 million plus over the next 5 years. 38 million in year 5.

I mean he also a 3 time all star which is pretty sweet.
It was quite funny though when I went to basketball reference. Com and it lists players similar to his career arc. Who the **** are these guys?

Bob Davies played in the 40’s/50’s.

In just the last 3 seasons Simmons is a 3x All-Star, 2x All-Defensive 1st Team, 2020 Steals Leader, 1x All-NBA 3rd Team and 1x Runner-Up for DPOY.

If you can get this guy no matter his offensive limitations for Clarkson/Royce and one of either Ingles/Favors you would be crazy not too. Plus he’s locked up for the next 4 years with Donovan and Rudy.
 
It’s interesting. Simmons personality is an issue. He’s pretty arrogant. He’d be a great defender, but he can’t shoot……at all. Rubio could play make too, but couldn’t shoot a 3 to save his life. I don’t think Simmons would be worth giving a lot up for, but as a wing defender and playmaker, he’d be very interesting. The problem is he’s focused on being a main star, which I’m not sure he really is at this point until he improves some things.
 
Will be interesting to see what Sixers do
Will be interesting to see where he may go to and for what
