DFS II: Return of the Doe-Doe

[The Jom]

I get the Ben Simmons aversion. But I could easily see him growing up and manning up. And I don’t view him as expensive if you’re dumping 22.7 million of 2023 salary in the deal to get him. His 37.9 minus the 22.7 = 15.2, with another 10 of that otherwise owed to Bullock if you don’t do the deal.

So the Simmons overpay would really only come in the last year of his contract, when it’s only offset by 11 million of Bertans/McGee savings. And at that point, it’s an expiring trade chip.
