Trying to sign Anfernee Simons seems kind of daft to me... why? Because Kyrie-Anfernee-Luka cannot play together and win playoff games.
Anfernee is a direct Kyrie replacement, so to speak, off the bench.
- Kyrie/Anfernee, DJJ, Luka, PJW, Lively/Gafford.
For the Mavs to spend $66M on players in the same position (Kyrie is $40M, Anfernee is $26M), who cannot play together (unless Luka is injured)... that seems like really bad roster construction.
I think Collin Sexton @ $14m would be more suitable for this... i.e., to purely replace Kyrie, and not play as Kyrie-Sexton-Luka... because Sexton's salary is $14M and not $26m.
PS: I don't really want Sexton... but he makes a lot more sense than Anfernee, is all I'm saying.
