Simmons is one of the biggest wastes of talent of all time. He should be a top 10 player in the league but he just doesn't seem to care at all about getting better. It honestly baffles me when people on here say we should trade for him. There's a clear pattern of an attitude problem and a lack of commitment to improve his game. That's not going to be fixed just by putting him in a new situation.
Mark my words, whoever trades for him is going to screw themselves for the foreseeable future because they're going to be spending 30% of their cap on a guy who can't even be in the game when it matters most and refuses to try to better himself.
I hate players like him more than most because he tricks front offices who are tantalized by his talent into thinking he'll finally commit to getting better but when it comes down to it, he won't put the work in.
If we gave up assets in a trade for him you might as well pencil in Luka leaving for the Lakers or something, it would be a death knell for this franchise.
