Would I rather have Simons than Hauser at the same salary? Yes for sure. Would I rather have Simons than Hauser if he?s making even $5 mil a year more? No. And I?m not even that high on Hauser

You never get him at the same value or contract, Simons plays twice the minutes, scores 12 more points per game against better defenders night in and out.  He was the Blazers best scorer last year.  Sam benefits a lot more who he played with than Simons did last year.  You get a lot better defenders being the primary scorer than the fourth or fifth best option. 

I like Sam, he is a great shooter and I think he has great value for his contract.   Could he do the one on one scoring of Simons with the best defender on him. I am guessing no.  Sam has Tatum, Brown and White to routinely take the heat off on offense.   Simmons had Sharpe to help him and Avdija.

I do not think Simons is garbage overall, but he is crappy on defense.

I would not mind Vucevic and he would be great value for us.   I just don't know if he fits our timeline.
