You're right. Ben Simmons was an All-NBA player. Something BI will never come close to sniffing


I’m talking about currently. I get BI sucked in the playoffs but you guys have dropped this guy to be some dead weight player no one wants.

Well...

We don't want him. He's dead weight to us.

So...

we’ll get some exciting value for him. I’m not worried about it. I really do think at the very least we could get Detroits pick and a young player from them for BI. But I know that’s the last thing Griff wants to do

Half of the anti-BI guys are just going off mob mentality at this point. They've just been rage-posting each other into hating one of the 7-8 best players in franchise history.

Other GMs will see:
1. BI can create and score in very unique ways in the middle of the floor.
2. BI was coming off of a very scary knee injury and was likely a mixture of rusty, out of shape, and tentative on the knee. That's not a good combo when the refs are letting a defender mug you.
3. BI was not really put in a position to succeed with his lack of a consistent role.

Whether you agree with the above or not, other GMs can see that he's still a very talented scorer and will believe he can help their team. And many of them will be right.


I will close with the simple fact that 60% on middies is better for your offense and defense than 40% on 3s. Now, back to your regularly scheduled shallow-analytics rageposting.
