His shooting in all that time. The team should've taken charge of that before now and had him working with a shooting guru. They totally blew the last detail of the "process."

(17,469 posts)His free throw shooting is atrocious. he shoots a good % from the field, but only averages 15 ppg. He can't shoot 3s.

(57,517 posts)Maybe they're looking at Simmons as a taller version of Greene, a great defender but not much in the shooting dept.
Greene better watch his back if that's the case.
IMO that's not a good move for Golden State. They can get a good defender who can also shoot a little bit.

(17,469 posts)Maybe throw in Wiseman to make the numbers work. And also oubre, let them negotiate a new deal.
Simmons could work imo, but he needs to move to a more natural position like SF. I think he could do well with curry and klay. He's a lot like green but younger and taller and a better distributer.
The reason this probably won't happen is that phili will want Wiggins and others. That won't happen.

(57,517 posts)because the other team will just fowl him and he can't even make fowl shots.
What any team would take on that problem is beyond me.
