"Best prospect since LeBron"

I dont think anyone has ever called Simmons the best prospect since lebron..

It's more comparing the players as both play point forwards

lol? Yea they have, where have you been?

[FreezingTsmoove]

Its because if mother****ers like you who helped ruin his stock amongst casuals and the ****ing media portraying him as a villian DESPITE him not saying a negative thing EVER in his life. For some reason the media turned him into a villian for not being able to lead his shitty, injured, team to a tournament appearance DESPITE AVERGING 20/12/5 AND BECAUSE HE DIDNT GO TO HIS SHIT BULLSHIT CLASSES

[GINOBILI!]

This isn't $12M per year? Just $12M total over 5 years?

[Mawly-G]

Wonder what made him sign with Nike though, if Adidas offered him more.

Rich Paul and the LeBron camp.

I think it's more of the style of Simmons' game. He's not a high flyer like Lebron or a scoring machine like Durant, so Nike can't really gamble a large amount on him. Hell, even Kawhi doesn't have a signature shoe yet.

Isn't Kawhi with the Jumpman brand?

Isn't Kawhi with the Jumpman brand?

Yes, but he doesn't have a signature shoe with Jumpman like Melo or CP3.

Hell, Blake Griffin and LMA don't either.

So what is it?

For someone hyped as the next LeBron, 12 million is horrendous, and for 5 years?

[FireDavidKahn]

This isn't $12M per year? Just $12M total over 5 years?

Yes.

[TemporaMutantur]

Kid needs a better agent/attorney.

Should have signed something shorter term, just to keep his options open.

[Cap'n Obvious]

$12M would not put Simmons at the poverty level.

[FireDavidKahn]

$12M would not put Simmons at the poverty level.

Yet again, missing the point.

[HylianNightmare]

Adidas would've been better,I hipe UA can grab another marquee guy. Always wishing and1 Reebok or another lower tier brand can land a name

[Cap'n Obvious]

Yet again, missing the point.

My point was that he won't be at the poverty level.
