Basketball

The Warriors' management is still very calm. Before the Kumingga's problem has been dealt with, it has already maintained a very "ambiguous" relationship with players such as Melton, Horford, Payton Jr., Curry Jr., Brogdon, and Lyles.

In this group of players who may join the Warriors, there will be another player, that is No. 1 pick - Simmons.

According to Brett Siegel, a reporter from media ClutchPoints, Simmons will not be surprised if he chooses to join after the Warriors make room. In addition, teams such as the Knicks, Kings, and Celtics are also pursuing Simmons. What does it mean to make space for the

Warriors? Does the Warriors have any extra salary space? Of course, this is not the case. It is only after solving the problem of Kumingga's stay or leave that the Warriors have the heart to sign and strengthen. It can be said that Kumingga completely defended the Warriors during this summer offseason, and both sides felt a little "successful".

So, is Simmons' playing style and technical characteristics really suitable for this Warriors team?

According to previous reports, the Warriors management's goal of strengthening this summer is defense in the backcourt and projection in the frontcourt. From this point of view, it does not meet the reinforcement requirements, because Simmons is a forward without a three-point shooting.

But the famous reporter thought that he might join the Warriors was not nonsense, but naturally there was a set of logic to support it.

Simmons played a total of 51 games last season, averaging 5 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists per game, and shooting percentage was 52%. As the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft in 2016, Simmons is only 29 years old and is in his first year of playing. Although he is not good at offense, his organization and defense at his peak are first-class, helping the 76ers to reach the Eastern Conference semi-finals, forcing the champion Raptors into the tiebreak in the 2019 playoffs. If it weren't for Embiid, Simmons' defense against Leonard in the last round might have been able to limit that final kill. If the Warriors are interested in Simmons, in addition to the salary factor, they may be interested in his defense and organization, and use it as a substitute for Dream Chasing Green. Lost center Looney in the offseason, it is inevitable that the Warriors' inside defense strength will decline. In addition, Green is one year older and needs a substitute with a similar style of play, and Simmons is just right. In addition to focusing on fast attacks, Kerr's pass-cut system also requires the forward to support the deal, so as to maximize Curry and Hilde's unballed three-point shooting threat.

Judging from the current lineup configuration, Green's qualified substitute is indeed not found, which puts Butler under greater pressure; considering the length of the regular season in the new season, Curry, Butler and Green have to be healthier, so that the Warriors have the opportunity to compete for the championship, and neither of them is missing. To this end, the Warriors have strategic needs for Simmons. When Greene is resting, she can continue Green's role and can also be used as the No. 5 position of the ball.

I believe you have also seen the "redemption" effect of the Warriors on players. Players such as Porter, Payton Jr., Divinchenzo are all "reborn" here. Why can't Simmons? As long as Simmons is doing well in the substitute lineup, he will play a role similar to Green, it will be enough to meet the Warriors' tactical needs; however, when trying him, Coach Cole must match the shooter, and Curry and Hilder are both suitable to play with Simmons.

He performed averagely when playing for the Clippers last season. In addition to his own mentality, he also had the discomfort of the sudden system; but it was different in the Warriors system. Without three-point shooting, it would not be a problem. As long as he could defend and support, he could still live a good life. Of course, Simmons has to solve the mentality problem himself, and the Warriors' environment is still good; Wiggins has become unfaithful here, and as long as Simmons wants to continue playing in the NBA, he has to complete his "self-suffering".

The chances are ultimately determined by yourself. If a system like the Warriors cannot "recover" Simmons, then he is probably not far from retirement.
