my first thought was: he's doing them a favor.

cuz, by then i had seen enough of Maxey to know that Philly was gonna def. be better w/ him and better w/out Simmons.

also, IMO (maybe I didn't watch enough and stats don't back it up) but for someone who can't really score and who was supposed to a great "point-forward", Simmons always felt like a bit of a black hole when he got the ball - like he'd just dribble around a lot it felt. again, i could be way wrong, just a vibe i always got when i watched.
