The second year of his No. 1 pick, he made 40 million last season! Now he has no ball to play because he has a rookie

On August 12, as the offseason deepened, there are fewer and fewer high-quality players in the free market now, and Boucher was signed by the Celtics. Now the only ones that are considered top puzzles in the free market are Westbrook and Brogden, and Ben Simmons and Fultz are also named. Westbrook has not signed a contract yet, not because he is not capable, but because he has reached an oral agreement with the King before, and the two sides are interested in each other, and the King also plans to free up the lineup list through the transaction to sign him.

Brogden may be the best puzzle in the free market at the moment. He is probably waiting and watching which team can give him more playing time or ball rights, and which teams are closer to the championship. These are all considered, so he has not found his next home yet. According to famous reporter Jack Fisher, the Warriors are very interested in Brogdon. The Timberwolves have also contacted Brogdon. In addition, the Pistons and Hawks are also looking for a suitable substitute backcourt.

Brogdon and Westbrook are not worried about finding their next home, but now Simmons and Fultz are a little frustrated. Judging from the current situation, it is estimated that these two people will not find their next home after the start of the new season. Fultz played for the Kings last season, but the result was only a marginal rotation. His three-pointer was still not good, and his shooting was still unstable. It seems that the problem of Yipu's disease has not been solved. Maybe he will play in the overseas league. As the No. 1 pick for 2016, Simmons is completely self-defeated by this step. Simmons' talent is historical level. He has the speed and explosiveness of a defender, and the passing vision of a point guard. His draft templates were Magic and James, and James praised him in an interview: his upper limit will be higher than mine. Maybe it was because he received too much attention and Simmons was criticized for being afraid of making mistakes.

So he has been playing sane basketball since he entered the league. The so-called rational basketball means that I don’t make mistakes and don’t expose my shortcomings. No one will talk about my problems. With this mentality, Simmons has never dared to make three-pointers since entering the league in the second year of his career (reimbursed for the first season of his career), but he is still talented. He averaged 15+8+8 per game in the rookie season. Relying on his outstanding performance, he won the Best Rookie, leaving both the Mid-Google King and Tatum back empty-handed.

After that, Simmons still did not develop three-pointers in the second year of his career, but he was still talented. He relied on his outstanding talent to be selected as the All-Star. This season, he led the team to the playoffs again. The entire regular season averaged 17 points, 8.8 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 1.4 steals. In fact, since the second year of his career, many fans have begun to question why Simmons has not tried to develop three-pointers? In the third year of his career.

I thought Simmons was going to try to develop three-pointers, but he did not do so. Instead, he began to improve his value on the defensive end. A player who can defend five positions by relying solely on talent, it is easy for him to play top defense. This season, Simmons averaged 16.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 8 assists and 2.1 steals per game. Relying on his outstanding performance, he was selected as the best defense in the league. Therefore, he also received a five-year, 170 million contract. Although he did not have three-pointers, the honor and potential he played were definitely worth the big contract.

Simmons was selected for the best first defense again next season, but was targeted by the Hawks in the playoffs and was released from the outside. The 76ers fans waited for Simmons for 4 years but still couldn't develop a three-pointer. They also completely broke the defense and began to boo Simmons, which also made Simmons feel betrayed. He forced the palace to leave the team, which led to the story of leaving the 76ers and Harden swapping their clubs. After joining forces with Irving and Durant, Simmons also made no progress.

Every year, Simmons is Goat in training camp. No one posted more training photos than him. He also made good use of three-pointers. As a result, it was not possible to do so in the regular season. Therefore, everyone reached a consensus that he just made a fake effort and could not improve. He had a big contract with the Nets for several years, was bought out last season, and finally joined the Clippers. He made a total of 40.34 million last season, but now he can't get a basic salary contract.

According to ESPN salary expert Bobby Mark, Simmons still has no home next season because 41 rookies were selected and signed first and second round contracts this offseason. These rookies have replaced some veterans such as Simmons. Now, except for the Warriors, other teams have completed the lineup construction for next season, or because of the salary cap, they can no longer sign players. For example, the Lakers. Although they have a vacancies, they cannot sign new players before January 18. Among the 442 players who have signed contracts in the new season, 393 have guaranteed contracts.

The meaning is very clear. Simmons is likely to be unable to find his next player because of these rookies, so he can't even find his next player. Of course, it's not someone else's fault, it's just that he doesn't work hard enough. Having said that, what do you want to say about Simmons now? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
