Not many people remember this, but Brook Lopez went through years of foot injuries and surgeries before becoming durable as a rock in his later career. Not the same situation, but if Simmons’ back does one day recover, he could still make a big impact.
Not too likely methinks, but at least a possibility.
Yeah I could see a team offering him a decent contract since like you said the upside is there, but it’s going to have most of the $ tied to games played incentives I’m sure.
Yeah brook literally has been a DPOY candidate post back surgery but he’s the exception to the rule I feel like. Simmons should definitely look into Brooks doctor.
