Simmons told the New York Daily News Monday morning that he has “no idea” what his role is after the Brooklyn Nets traded Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.
Will this be an opportunity for Simmons to take a leading role? To hear his comments before Monday’s loss to the Knicks, and his head coach’s words afterwards, highly unlikely.what his role is after the two trades.
Monday night, he played just 12:41, and went 1-for-2 from the floor, plus three rebounds, two assists. Miles away from the numbers he put up just two seasons earlier with the Sixers. Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn gave the verbal equivalent of throwing up his hands when asked about Simmons’ current role.
That is not a vote of confidence. He’s basically saying he has no idea how to put his highest-paid player – he has two years and $78 million remaining on his current deal – in a position to provide value on the floor.
