2021 FREE AGENCY: Markkanen wants out of CHI | DAL "definitely interested"

[michaeltex]

We have 4 years of evidence for Ben Simmons now. His points, assists, and rebounds are WORSE than in his rookie season. He hasn't improved one bit. His playoff numbers are even worse...

Defense is irrelevant when you force your team to play 4 v 5 on offense every playoffs. His offense dies because no one respects his scoring ability, and you can't run the point in the modern NBA if you can't score. Ben+Luka=Guaranteed doubles and traps all game long on Luka. I mean, what's Ben gonna do when he gets the ball from a doubled Luka? He's not gonna shoot.

There's no bigger red flag to me than a player who refuses to improve, who refuses to work on the one thing that everyone knows he needs. Some players just don't have that drive to improve, and he's getting paid the max anyway, so even that's not an incentive. He's a more physically gifted Shawn Bradley.

His physical gifts are without debate, but the offensive holes are an Achille's heel on any team. My limited observation is that he CAN do it, he just WON'T do it.

Dude needs a brain adjustment...
