My thing with Simmons is-
If your team acquires him, he immediately brings drama. Drama because he's there's documented history of both incompetence (not developing a 3 pt shot, deferring in crucial game situations, etc), or simply pouting and faking mental illness until he gets his way. His agent is ENCOURAGING and ENABLING the latter. Combine that with a Kardashian fueled lifestyle and a garantuan contract?! JFC people.
I'm fully aware of how incredible he can be on both offense and defense. Thing is, I don't care how good the dude is - I think it's highly, highly likely he'd corrupt our core/young players and bring an inordinate amt of press down on us that our team isn't equipped to handle. We have a REALLY good thing going with Allen, Mobley, Garland, Sexton, and Okoro ... adding Ben severely undercuts what we're trying to do here, nvm the fact it would take a king's ransom with at least two of them to get him, plus a ton of 1st rounders that we should be guarding with our lives rn.
Every mistake he would make would be magnified.
Every passed up 3 pointer wouldn't be ignored by the fans.
TMZ would be all up in our business constantly.
Ben has all the talent in the world, but I really don't think he's worth the extra baggage. Pass.
