Correct. But, he is eligible (this summer) for an extension likely over $150 mil....

So far so good. Now when FVV or another guard drives & breaks down D, Simmons cuts to hoop. With his strength, size, speed and ball handling, a lot...

Which one? Wrong choice gets GMs fired (maybe not Masai but would be painfull for 4 more years)....

I'm afraid you are 100% correct. And it would be a very smart overpay. Maybe even a new challenge for Kyle?...

Please correct me if I am missing something in my valuation/assessment:
-MPJ is almost as good as Siakam offensively (perhaps a bit more inconsistent);...
