Phoenix continues to impress, they just beat the Thunder via a game winning three by Booker. I love what the Celtics are doing but Phoenix i think is the bigger surprise of the season.

Clipper game - best game of the yr
Centers - could not be happier.... don't miss Porzingis or Horford or Kornet at all
Brad - Please try to keep these guys together, including Simons

I?m feeling the same way about Simons as the season goes by. He?s a legit weapon off the bench.

Simons isn't the issue, it's his contract.  If we could bring him back for around $18 million, I'd do it.

I do miss our centers, though.  It's been a really fun season, but we're still 15th in defense.

Are you saying that we just don't have 18 million spare in the cap (under apron), or that he will fetch more than 20 mill in the open market?

At his current contract, he's untenable.  At 2/3 of his current annual rate, it's doable.

He's going to want more than that.  I have no idea what the market will look like.  Teams were paying guys like Simons (including pay Simons himself), but the trade market for adding guys like Simons, Sexton, McCollum, etc. seems weak.

So, if there's no market for him, there's a chance we could retain him.  But, it won't be at $27 million or more.

Wow.  Idiot kickers, lol.
