I?m more concerned with his dedication, for he enjoys Hollywood more than being great.
But, if all PHi asked for was Knox, IQ, Toppin and 2 of our top 3 picks this draft?. I couldn?t say no.
It?s that 30+ million contract that scares me most of all. Simmons is making 40 million in 2024-25. That is a potential franchise killer over the next 4 seasons unless he learns to shoot. You could almost argue assets should be going out from Philly, not coming in, to move him.
As an aside, I think IQ is untouchable. His game is mini-Trae Young with the extended 3 point range, ability to draw fouls, very high FT percentage, and developing runner in the lane. He needs to develop his court vision and grow as a passer and he is a starter in this league, maybe a very good one, for a long time.
