    Dig up some advanced stats that show how much better Simmons is on defense. I’ll wait patiently.

    All star appearances mean what exactly? That you’re a fan favorite?

    Michael Porter Jr & Gary Harris w/ picks is plausible offer that's been discussed. Its also a better offer than anything involving Simmons

    Especially when they are tied to contract incentives.

    Hes as much of a guard as lebron. Your position is based on who you can defend, not how well you dribble a basketball

    People really need to stop regurgitating narratives from espn

    I think reasonable speculation is they are trying to go the 3 team route to find a way to get Porter from Denver and either Brown or Siakam. So the extra pieces would go to Denver. Not sure why Denver would want to move Porter but a solid player like Powell and a couple firsts may be enticing.

    MPJ is soft (&injury prone) and Harris isn't that good. Simmons is better than those jokers without a jumpshot and it ain't close.

    what people don’t appreciate about players is they have both upside and downside risk.

    The reason Harden is ELITE is he doesn’t have games like Murray had today. A bad game from Harden is like 25 points, 7 assists, 8 rebounds and 2 steals. That’s a BAD game.

    I am very much in the Harden for Murray, MPJ and picks camp, but there is a reason Harden is Harden, and Murray is Murray.

    Meanwhile Simmons did enough to get a new contract.

    Probably had a bad game thinking about him getting traded for Harden. Herro and Simmons had an off night too. What a coincidence lol
