I'm actually pretty confused where this love for Anfernee Simons has come from. He's a small guard at 6'3. Defensively has always been one of the worst guards in the league. As the main guy on Portland this year he was one of the most inefficient volume scorers in the league.
I also severely doubt he'd be happy to come to Dallas to resume a 6th man role when he had to deal with that the first 4 years of his career behind McCollum and Lillard.
We also wouldn't really be able to play Simons next to Luka and Kyrie at the same time, mostly due to defensive issues. And that's before even bringing up his contract. Simons as an idea is DOA.
The only guard I'm interested on Portland is Thybulle. He fits the idea of THJ for "someone making 9-10mil" so we can offer DJJ any competitive contract this summer. He's also one of the best defensive guards in the league that won't cost an arm and a leg.
I like the Isaiah Joe idea, but I really doubt the Thunder are going to let him go for peanuts. Especially when he's uber cheap next year.
