Are we going to try and go for a two-big starting lineup? To match with the Lakers? Der could use a shooting big. Barnes would be nice or Cousins if healthy. Noel would be a rough fit with WB like Capella was.
I totally agree I felt Dantoni played him out of courtesy rather than actually wanting to play him. His minutes last year were very sporadic when all guards were healthy.
I wouldn’t hate a deal centered around Simmons but I want every asset they have attached to him. As for Westbrook I just want picks or high caliber youth back. You’re not winning anything with Blake. I want to build a young core around Simmons but also have some picks in our back pocket to pick up another star in the future if the situation arises.
He literally played 25 mpg his two years here. Him being redundant is kind of the point. He was able to give our main guards rest while still providing ball handling and decent shooting. Over a long 82 game season there is a lot of value to that.
