Exactly. We don't need more of that influence in our locker room.So is Nurkic
This might be the best thread bump in S2 historyBumping this so we can have the entire board just be Simmons threads.
Although, after THAT playoffs...[Broken record] The Sixers are not going to give us Simmons for anyone BUT Dame, so it's pointless imagining them next to each other.
He’s Draymond being asked to play full-time PG.
Adjust his role to C or PF and he’ll be a monster.
So he wouldn't fit in D'Antoni system?He can’t shoot. Fuck him.

Timing is gonna be tricky, especially with the Powell signing pending. It's important to sell him on staying whether or not we actually execute the CJ-Simmons swap.If we are going to get him, I really hope we do it sooner rather than later so we can go hard at Norm.
I'd also really like to include his development in the interviews with coaches.
More notes (mostly for my own benefit):Why I'm definitely on the Ben Train:
1) We were 29th in defense - historically bad.
2) Fast breaking Ben would turn DJJ into a valuable player
3) Trading CJ would increase the likelihood of re-signing Powell
4) I LOVE the idea of Switching Everything (a la the Clips), which you could totally do with Powell-RoCo-Ben.
5) I think Ben will really respond to Lillard's leadership - Ben no longer faces the difficult press questions, Lillard does.
6) Did I mention that we were 20-effing-9th in defense, and NO NBA CHAMPION has ever been nearly that bad? Did I mention that CJ is the worst defender among the starters?
Edit: Lillard asked management to try to get Draymon (and it's not because of Draymon's sparkling personality...). Ben is the closest thing to a Draymon player that we could possibly get.

Ghas right, you dont want him playing PG we have one of those already, he's pretty decent. He need to play in the low/high post where if they do foul him maybe it would be an and 1 situation. He would be beneficial rolling and offensive rebounding.The difference is that to realize the benefit of Simmons on your team you need him to handle the ball quite a bit. That invites the defense to the Hack-A-Ben tactic.
He already is a monster.He’s Draymond being asked to play full-time PG.
Adjust his role to C or PF and he’ll be a monster.
Yeah but he came pretty damn closeHe already is a monster.
People used to say about prime Jason Kidd that he could massively impact a game without scoring a point. Well, Simmons is doing his damn best to prove it. Simmons didn't lose that series against the Hawks.
