At your job if a "colleague" was getting paid way more than you but wouldn't show up when it mattered the most you would be ready to show them the door yourself regardless of "talent".

This dude has been booty butt cheeks in MANY a fourth quarter....

He also flatly refuses to REALLY correct his shot.

Jason Kidd is a great example. Dude couldn't shoot worth a damn when he came in and he worked at it. Even had a decent 3 pointer eventually.

You can't have this dude as your supposed second best player and not have him be even an OPTION offensively in crunch time. You can get away with having a post player/defender/forward do that and ONLY if they are a super plus defender/rebounder/shot blocker.

I've never seen a guard this "talented" that is this disinterested in taking shots. Even mid range or close range shots. This dude is an absolute liability offensively not just because his shot is bad but because he's so tentative.

Simmons needs to spend a few years in a Siberia like Minnesota and work on his craft and then maybe he can think about making demands.
