    We have a Ben Simmons type on our roster that JJ hates. His name is Jarred Vanderbilt. Don’t get me wrong, I’d be kicking the tires on Ben Simmons. This obsession for a floor spacing 5th starter when you have Luka, AR, Grimes and even Kessler seems silly to me. I’d much rather have a guy who can defend and rebound.

    I think Simmons can fill that Rambis role on this team…

    it’s useless responding anyhow. You will get the Walker “I’ve got a family to feed response. NBA players aren’t the only people out of touch with reality.

    Absolutely not. But as of right now he needs to come off the bench to be our backup center.
