When the Nets chose to trade with Philadelphia to get Simmons, it became the heaviest operation on this year's trade deadline, but how Simmons joined the Nets will play has attracted attention, after all, Simmons is not good at shooting is a recognized shortcoming. Now the US media has written an analysis, from three aspects to argue that Simmons is a perfect match for the Nets, one is that the Nets fans are not so strict, the other is that he can cooperate with durant, the world's best player Durant, and the three Nets have enough high-quality shooters, and the Nets are still expected to win the championship as long as Durant is healthy.
3. Nets fans are not as crazy and harsh as Philadelphia fans
Philadelphia fans are crazier than Nets fans, and the truth is that many Nets fans aren't as crazy as Philadelphia fans. Philadelphia sports fans are the wildest fans in the world, and if you don't play the best basketball, they'll tell you. As we saw in Simmons, he was kicked out of Philadelphia, and at the Nets, he didn't have to worry about that.
It gives Simmons a new opportunity to reinvigorate his career and become the player everyone knows he can be. Philadelphia fans expect him to be a height he can't reach, which is one of the reasons he failed in Philadelphia.
Luckily for Simmons, he's not joining a team that isn't elite. The Nets are still arguably better than Philadelphia, and if they can solve some problems, they have a chance of winning the NBA championship. The most important question is whether Irving will be vaccinated, which seems unlikely at the moment. The other most important thing is to make sure Durant is healthy and back, because if Durant is healthy, the Nets have a good chance of winning the NBA championship.
2. Simmons has the chance to play alongside Durant, the world's best player
One can say anything to Durant that they want, but there's no doubt that he's arguably the best player in the world, and if he wins another championship ring, he's likely to be one of the top five players someone's ever ranked player. He's Durant, a skilled scorer the league has never seen before, and the opportunity to play by his side is an honor in itself.
Embiid is a fantastic player and a former teammate of Simmons, but he's not Durant. Durant is one of those players who can play at any time and score 50 points, and he will take the pressure off Simmons. Durant is another player who only wants to play basketball, he is not involved in many of the team's various conflicts, and he is different from Embiid.
1. Simmons is surrounded by excellent outside shooters
Simmons' biggest skill on the court is undoubtedly his defensive ability, he may be one of the best defensive players in the NBA, and this alone will be an important addition to the Nets.
Simmons' passing skills are another key component of his game, and he may not have the chance to be at the heart of the organization as he did at Philadelphia, but believes he will continue to play a key role in securing the help of his teammates. While Simmons has some great shooters around him in Philadelphia, he's not as powerful as the group of shooters he has at the Nets.
Simmons will have the ability to pass the ball to Durant and Irving, as well as players like Joe Harris, Mills and Curry Jr. All three players are among the NBA's top three-point shooters, so it's safe to assume that he'll continue to provide great open-slot performances for his teammates, as he's done in the past.
