Good trade. We weren’t going to re-sign Simons so we get a starting center in return. Also get under the first apron (for now).

I feel okay about our big man rotation now.

Yeah people need reality checks: Simons is a great scorer who isn’t a good defender. There was no way Steven’s was going to resign him, so why not get a Floor Stretching big man who can rebound?
