To fill what role? LOL

The Pels have plenty of ball handlers that aren’t elite shooters.

This is one where I say, "Yes, absolutely if on a veteran minimum. It has "Low Risk -- High Reward" potential for whomever gets him.

He can play 1-5, rebounds defensively, creates for teammates, and is a defensive juggernaut (and has the skins to prove it). Simmons and Herb or Simmons and Murray would be the best defensive backcourt in the NBA and there would be no close second.

Plus, if they are seriously shopping Herb, this is a guy we need to 'test-drive'. With Simmons, the talent is there -- always has been; it's what goes on between the ears that he has to overcome.


DEFENSE!!! DEFENSE!!! DEFENSE!!!

He’s going back to the 76’ers to play with Lebron.

When is the last time he did those things? 2021?

I'd rather pay Ben the Min than Zion $40M fwiw

Basically the same guy. Both tank commanders.

With the silly shite going on right now he could probably return to LSU.
