Another team strongly joins the chase of Simmons . US media reporter Evan Dammarell reported that the Rockets are very interested in getting Simmons before the start of the training camp.
According to statistics, the Spurs, Timberwolves , Cavaliers, and Rockets all strongly hope to get Simmons. The Warriors, Trail Blazers and other teams have some interest in Simmons. Simmons, whom many fans dislike, still belongs to the sweet pastry in NBA .
Why does Simmons, who can't shoot, still have so many teams to pursue? Although Simmons can't shoot, he still has many advantages. Last season, Simmons averaged 14.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.6 blocks per game, and his shooting percentage was 56%. On the offensive end, Simmons's passing and organizing skills are among the top in the league, his ability to hit the rim is also very strong, and his shooting percentage at the rim is very high.
Of course, when he played the Hawks in the Eastern Conference semifinals last season, there was a "rejection" situation, which requires vigilance. But this shouldn't be a big problem. Simmons is not a "refusal" player. Last season, he was caught by his opponent because of the shortcoming of the free throw. As long as you figure it out, such a situation should never happen again.
On the defensive end, Simmons is even the top 5 in the league. Simmons belongs to the existence of the best defensive player in the league every season. And Simmons's defense is different from Gobert 's defense. Simmons can defend every position without any shortcomings.
In addition, Simmons is still very young, only 25 years old, and his contract is not very big. The five-year 170 million in the current NBA is quite satisfactory. Most importantly, because of his poor performance in the playoffs last season and his torn face with the 76ers, Simmons' trade value has now fallen to the bottom. Buy low and sell high,Other teams want to pick up this bargain.
Marc Stein reports that Simmons still doesn't want to report to the 76ers when the training camp opens. The 76ers are still making their final efforts and hope he can report. The training camp for the new season will start on September 28, local time, with only one week left. The 76ers need to think about how to deal with Simmons's training.
The 76ers can of course punish Simmons' money, but this is actually a lose-lose approach. More and more news shows that the 76ers actually hope to send Simmons away before the start of the training camp.
Chris Sheridan followed up and reported: "Wall may be sent to the 76ers in this transaction, and the 76ers' bargaining chips include Maxi in addition to Simmons."
As we all know, the Rockets and Wall are also Decided to part ways. Of course, the relationship between the Rockets and Wall is not as bad as the relationship between the 76ers and Simmons. The Rockets and Wall are simply different goals. They don't want to play together. They are a peaceful breakup.
The famous commentator Perkins was asked in the podcast whether Wall is suitable for the 76ers. His answer is that it is suitable: "Last year we have seen some shadows of Wall in the past, and he can still cut 20+7, although the hit rate is not high. Wall can still help, he can go to the Clippers, or even the 76ers, I don’t know what happened to Simmons, but I think Wall + Embiid Will be better than Embiid + Simmons combination, because Wall can shoot, is aggressive, and has no fear of standing on the free throw line."
Wall and Simmons swap? Next season, Wall's annual salary is $43.85 million; Simmons is $31.59 million and Maxi is $3 million. Because of the salary balance, to complete the transaction, the 76ers also need to add Maxi. But this deal is a bit crazy.
Wall is a negative equity, which belongs to the kind that has to be sent away and the first round of the lottery. Simmons even if the transaction value has fallen to the bottom,But it is still a positive asset. Marx averaged 8 points, 1.7 rebounds and 2 assists per game last season. He is only 20 years old and has only entered the NBA for one year. He is also a positive asset. The Rockets traded 1 negative equity for 2 positive assets, which sounds counterintuitive.
It can be said that the exchange of Wall and Simmons is possible. But it shouldn't be 1 for 2. The Rockets still have a lot of assets, such as first-round picks or young players. But in any case, the deal has been spread out, and the Rockets may be about to take off.
