I would rather not play than have a basic salary! I rejected the Knicks, averaged 5+5 per game, and the No. 1 pick is so arrogant

On September 9, there are fewer and fewer outstanding players in the free market now, but there are still several people who are more concerned about, such as Westbrook, Simmons, Brogdon, Payton Jr., etc., and as of today's news, Love will be bought out by the Jazz in the near future. After he joined the free market, with his experience and shooting ability, it is estimated that the team will be interested in him, and he also has a competitive relationship with several other free agents, which will obviously hinder the signing of several other free agents.

Westbrook and Payton Jr. should be able to find the next home. Westbrook and the Kings reached an oral agreement, but because the Kings have been unable to free up their lineup, Westbrook has not signed the contract. However, even if the Kings failed to sign Westbrook in the end, Westbrook's ability is, after the start of the new season, which team has a poor record, may think of him first. After all, Westbrook's ability is here, and he can drive his teammates' passion for winning.

Peton Jr. is waiting for the Warriors to sign Kumingga. As long as Kumingga agrees to the contract, Payton will be able to return to the Warriors. With his ability, if it weren't for the Warriors' agreement, a team would have won him long ago. And Simmons, to be honest, this guy is purely because he gave him a chance, and he doesn't want to seize it. According to famous reporter Stein, sources revealed that Ben Simmons rejected the Knicks' offer contract. This is indeed a surprise.

Sydie Knicks did provide Simmons with a one-year contract, but Simmons refused. As the offseason approached, the Knicks could only give him a basic salary contract. After playing for the Clippers and the Nets last season, Simmons was more inclined to get a contract that was slightly higher than the basic salary. To be honest, the teams that can give you a slightly higher salary contract now are either young teams that don’t need him or they don’t need him against teams with low record requirements.

So based on Simmons' attendance rate and performance last season, he is only worth a basic salary contract, but he refused. Why don't Simmons be so tough when playing basketball? I guess he wanted a contract with the mini middle class, but to be honest, he couldn't get the mini middle class at all, just like Simmons' performance. Last season, he averaged 5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was 52%. 3-point shooting percentage is 0%.

Although it is comprehensive enough, with passes and defense, it still has no shooting and its personal offensive ability is almost 0. In this small ball era, such a player is destined to not get a big contract. He can indeed help the team in the regular season, but in the playoffs, the team dare not use him at all. No one will play targeted in the regular season, and the winner will not have much impact on a game. However, everyone focuses on the opponent's shortcomings in the playoffs. Simmons will be targeted without offensive ability, and the offensive end is four to five.

So I don't think it's realistic to win the big contract. I guess Simmons is a little confused now. He is no longer the highly watched pride of heaven back then. He was considered the successor of James back then. He has historical talent, a height of 2.11 meters to play point guard, top explosive power and defensive ability. He was selected into the Best Defense Team twice in the first four years of his career. Relying on his talent, he was selected into the All-Star.

Therefore, he also received a five-year contract of 180 million from 76ers. As a result, this contract became the largest garbage contract in the league. Simmons not only did not make progress over the years, but the key is that his ability has also declined. Due to the waist injury, Simmons' defense is not as good as before, and his athletic ability has also declined. Now he can only play more as a substitute. The No. 1 pick has lost its water, and he still regards himself as a wrist.

Before the Knicks' offer, Simmons parted ways with his agent. If he had an agent around him, he might have advised him to accept the contract. As a result, Simmons really didn't know what the situation is now. It seemed as arrogant as before. Maybe he couldn't accept the salary from more than 40 million last season, but now it's just down to the roller coaster experience of a basic salary. But after he rejected the Knicks' offer, Simmons might have blocked his career.

On the one hand, as we just said, teams with plenty of room are not interested in him, and on the other hand, he is not worthy of a larger contract. In this case, he may be forced to retire. It is worth mentioning that after he was bought out by the Nets last season, the Sixers were interested in him, and Embiid repaired his relationship with him, but in the end Simmons did not go to Philadelphia. It is probably because he still holds a grudge against the fans here.

This No. 1 pick has given me the feeling that I am proud of myself in the past few years. I really treat myself as a dish. I am only 29 years old. As a result, my career has fallen to this point, but I am still unwilling to accept my current role. Perhaps retirement is his best choice. Having said that, what do you want to say about Simmons now? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
