Ah yes, the player with the 4th best RPM at his position in the league this season doesn't impact winning basketball.

The reason they still win games without him is because they have the one of the best backup PG's in the league, who is scalable from backups minutes.

The Simmons saga keeps getting stranger

How the **** did the Nets medical staff clear him to play this season when he was obviously unfit?

It’s a $100 million asset ffs who is now back to square 1

If they have any sense, they will unload their $100 million “asset” on to some desperate team as soon as he is somewhere in the neighborhood of “fit”…

No team is that desperate. He'll either rebuild a reputation in Brooklyn (not likely imo - looks to have lost all of his athleticism which was his main strength) or he'll waste away on the roster until he has short enough time on his contract to take a buyout or be expiring. They'd have to attach multiple firsts to him to move him now.

Here’s a weird stat for a trivial pursuit night

Who is the Nets assist leader this season?

And teams will always be that desperate

Mavs signed Kyrie and now are out of playoffs

Sixers traded Simmons for Harden and got worse

Suns traded the farm for KD and are better without him

Healthy Simmons is levels above Gobert & Mitchell and their new teams mortgaged their future for them

IF Simmons gets healthy (highly unlikely), there will be a big market for him

Yes, if his loss of athleticism from injuries is temporary then he can make it back.

It's not., and he won't. Bookmark it.

Based on what ****ing evidence do you make this statement? He's played less than 100 minutes in their jersey.

For what it's worth, in those 98 minutes Durant spent on the court with Phoenix they were 20.8 points per 100 possessions better. Their eFG% was 107 points better. Almost every key statistic was up (ORB%, DRB%, TRB%, AST%, STL% & BLK% ). They were even 5.5 points per 100 better on defense.

KD is an incredible player so teams will improve WHEN HE’S AVAILABLE

However, there is less chance of him becoming an Ironman than there is of Simmons getting healthy & there’s about 10 years of evidence to support this

The guy is made of papier-mâché & averages about 50% of games for the last 5 seasons
