2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[KillerLeft]

I find it funny you write AD off (and I agree with everything you wrote here), but in the next post you say:




I think all those monikers apply even more to Simmons. Curious that you don't think the guy who has quit on every single team where he didn't get his way would be the perfect guy to play 2nd fiddle next to Luka for the foreseeable future.

Mind you I don't think either of these guys are available. But even if they were I wouldn't want to trade for either of them (not like the Mavs could put together realistic packages anyways).

Yeah, so...two different points in the conversation. 

With AD (who might actually be available soon) I was realistically analyzing his fit with the Mavs (imo). 

With Simmons, I was just trying to add to the "short list" we were making of players who fit the criteria of this discussion. I agree he's not available anymore, and I think I even said something like "even I admit talking about him is getting tedious" meaning that it's getting harder to defend his actions this year. I wasn't really suggesting him as an option for the Mavs, just arguing for his inclusion on the list.

But, fwiw, I think he's also a better player than Davis, looking past the negatives for each. Can't be said enough: Simmons (if he ever plays again) might be the best defensive player on the planet right now. It's either he or Giannis, I'd think.
