The guy has 4 years left on his max deal. If he tried this schtick in 2011 he'd probably be blackballed from the NBA given how radical it is to be throwing weight around when you don't really have any.
Yeah, that's kind of my point.
I like Simmons and understand why this is happening, but I'm also glad it's not just working out for him the way it did for Harden.

Totally agree. The second things about him running a team started leaking out (meaning he wants to continue playing PG, just not in an offense designed to feed a post player) I knew it wouldn't work here in Dallas, whether they had the ammo to get him or not.
I like his game a ton, and I think some team that needs him in that role will benefit, but I'm not trying to give him Luka's job (obviously).
