Team Murray: "Unless Simmons, who has become a free agent, is willing to renew his contract for a very low price, he is not expected to return to the team next season.”
In this year's playoffs, Simmons played in 5 games, all G6 & G7 were DNP, playing an average of 8.4 minutes per game, scoring 0.8 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.8 assists, and played 18 games during the regular season as a substitute, averaging 22 minutes per game, scoring 5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists.
Based on Simmons' playoff performance, thank God for a new NBA contract this offseason.
According to the statistics of American betting media Bovada, if Simmons does not renew his contract with the Clippers, then his new home odds, the Celtics, Knicks and Cavaliers/Heat are in the top three.
It's time to give Celtic a champion and teach them a double tanhua to win the championship. Manual dog head.
Getting back to business, the Clippers seem to have found a replacement for Simmons.The primary target is Wizards guard Brogdon.
Brogdon, who is also a free agent, is 32 years old and has averaged 12.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 23.5 minutes per game with the Wizards this season, shooting 43.3%, 28.6% and 88% from three, making him a high-quality rotational point guard.
This guy was at the peak of his quasi-All-Star level, and in his best season (20-21) with the Pacers, he averaged 21.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game, and won the Best Sixth Man award with 14.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game when he played for the Celtics in the 22-23 season.
However, Brogdon may be more expensive, with a salary of up to $22.5 million with the Wizards this season, and there should be a chance to get a new contract in the tens of millions of dollars annual salary this offseason, so the Clippers may not have enough capital to acquire him.
Of course, it is also possible that Brogdon wants to win the championship with his thighs in his arms, and then he is willing to join at a low salary...... However, the Clippers are out of the first round of the playoffs this year, and they don't have much attraction for outstanding veterans.
