ROSTER TALK: Mavs favs for Vogel if no HC job exists. Kyrie handshake deal?

[Smitty]

As for the talk about Simmons, as an Australian who's followed Ben's development since he was a kid, I wouldn't touch him, maybe not even for free. His problems are myriad, highly psychological, and elements of it have clearly been there since he stepped into college at LSU. The bottom line is, IMO he's a deeply sensitive individual, who's ego is so fragile that I could very easily see him retiring from basketball the second he does something that warrants heavy criticism from fans or media if he even steps onto the court again, which isn't even certain. He doesn't have the right mentality to deal with adversity which is a shame, but it is what it is.

Very bold opinion. Thanks for sharing! IF the Mavs were to trade for him I hope they go above and beyond behind the scenes. Another KP like swing and miss could be the beginning of the end for Luka and the Mavs.
