    He will choose the Clippers. Living in LA suits his priorities, which aren't basketball.

    I will kick stone in the stones if he acquires another non-shooter. Is this some kind of joke?

    I'm aware of how many assist he averages, it's even in the pic I posted in this thread before your reply.

    After this many years in the league, he's a known commodity. If you want that, fine. I don't.

    I wouldn't exactly say I wanted Ben freaking Simmons, but now that we completely failed to acquire a competent playmaking/shooting point guard at the trade deadline, we're down to the semi-competent buyout targets or the ones who are only competent at one of the two. At least Simmons would bring something Holiday doesn't, and they can probably play together come to think of it, since Simmons can guard bigger players.

    This.

    If taking a swing on Simmons doesn't affect anything other than Tilman's pockets, I'm ok with it.

    We don’t need a loser and a quitter on our roster. It’s just that simple.

    Two, in this case, is always better than one.

    Actually, if you think Amen is going to remain a starter--a Simmons/Holiday/Eason/Smith Jr or Brooks/Adams bench doesn't sound that bad come to think of it. There's some shooting there. Not enough, but some.

    Ben Simmons has a Mansion in Los Angeles that is why he wants to go there.

    They cover for the players who can't play defense.

    Great initials--BS.

    Not a huge fan, but he's polar opposite almost of FVV. Willing to take a chance that he buys into Ime's Way and transforms himself into ol' Ben.

    Ime would break this man. No way he's going to come here to play for a drill sergeant coach.

    Adding Simmons would now give us the "3 Terrors" or "The Terror Triplets" or "the Terrible 3" or.......
