Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 2611277, member: 652"] Simmons is useless if LeBron is on the court. LeBron may let him run the keys during the regular season but in the playoffs LeBron would want the ball in his hands. Simmons can’t shoot in crunch time his guy would leave him and double LeBron. Teams would do to that to the Celtics with Rondo and it hurt them in the 2010 Finals with the Lakers which they lost in 7. Simmons is basically a Diet Coke version of LeBron. He owns the paint the like a young LeBron. His jump shot is awful and unless LeBron wants to gamble it improves greatly in the next 2 years I think he would be a problem in the playoffs. If the 76ers could swap Simmons for a stud shooter it would be perfect. I mean if LeBron commited Philly could flip Simmons/Fultz and get a stud. [/QUOTE]
