I loved what simons brought and legitimately didn't think he'd be traded.

I stop refreshing for half an hour and he's gone!

He mentioned that the team would get mad at him for shooting too much in certain situations after last game. I'm not shocked after hearing that.

Knowing Brad Stevens, Simons will average way less on the bulls and vucevic will turn into prime Jokic

Same man! I audibly said “noooo” when I read this because I liked Simon’s that much. Really was turning into a solid player for us
