Based on the past performances of both players and how playoff basketball is played...which player can contribute the most at Max money in the post season?
Is Simmons so bad offensively that he would be benched in playoffs at 30M+? Would Simmons work effectively/efficiently with Luka playing off ball as a shooter(Simmons and Luka going back and forth as PG) and letting Simmons run point? Would it work in the playoffs?
Really frustrating as a Mavs fan that we are so desperate for talent that we ponder acquiring a Max money player that is proven to be a playoff liability. You have the greatest offensive player ever who is going to carry you to the playoffs year after year in Luka...and you want to burn the books and hurt your C-ship chances significantly by signing a player that will put you in a 4 vs 5 situation when it matters.
Im out on Simmons.
If Simmons is playing 4D chess and he has purposely refused to shoot in the hopes of pissing off Philly so they will trade him...and he goes to a new team and kills it(better be a Cali team or he going to cause problems until he gets to Cali)...more power to Simmons and Im happy for his new team. But Im out on the Mavs acquiring him.
You are hoping Simmons matures on your watch. He has wasted 6 years of being able to sharpen his skills. He doesnt care. 30m+ for a non-Mamba mentality player.
KP all day with injury concerns and I dont think his PnR defense liabilty hurts a team as much as 4 vs 5 does.
