Doesn't like every team want Vando? That is a very underwhelming return.

We have a multi year sample of him not being a great playmaker, lol.
Another thing to consider with Simmons is that going to team without championship expectations could help break through that mental block. It allows him to make mistakes without playoff consequences and hopefully gain that confidence back. Getting away from being in a huge media market could also be very helpful and if he gets back to the player he used to be I think he would be far less likely to chase the bigger market like we have seen with other guys. He has already been in 2 of those markets and he knows the pressure that comes with them.
Sexton and Conley are two totally different players. Of course Sexton isn’t as good of a passer as Conley. Conley isn’t as good of a scorer as Sexton. It’s a give and take with them. Conley’s FG% and TS% are atrocious this year while Sexton is one of the most efficient guards in the league.

Sexton needs to be a great 6th man, but forget about building a team or offense around him.
We have a multi year example of him playing with almost no talent around him and 2 of those years he was playing with another pg in Garland. No one is claiming that he is some great playmaker but I don't think him averaging 6 assists a game as the primary pg is out of the realm of possibilities if given the opportunity.

Simmons is not a player you should want. Yes, he's very much available, and that's why everyone is talking about him. Don't buy something on sale just because it's on sale at a knock-off price.
And thinking that all he needs is a "cure" somewhere. He is who he is. Rather than him resurrecting his career, it's much more probable things go downhill, faster. Someone finding his shot back happens. Simmons would have to find... man, where to even start.

Lol.
And we will have multi year sample of that in a future too, but that doesn't exactly matter, when it is already clear that Lauri's off-ball playmaking is fine for his current and expectable future playmaking. As it was over the past sample, considering his utilization and role.
His core playmaking abilities wasn't, isn't, and won't be measured in any "easy" statistical category.
Lol.
Sexton/Clarkson/Markkanen have a 107.7 DRTG and 121.2 ORTG in 376 minutes played together this year for a +13.5 net rating.
Both of those would be #1 in the league over an entire season.
You guys can say whatever you want about Sexton but the proof is right there for you.
