Is considered the next time James is 29 years old but is about to retire? Break up with his agent, Scout: Directed and acted by himself

On September 5, several restricted free agents recently launched contract renewal negotiations with the team. Giddy is likely to sign a four-year contract of 90 million yuan, while Cameron Thomas directly signed a one-year and 6 million qualification quotation contract with the team. The Nets gave a two-year and 30 million quotation, or a one-year and 9.5 million + 150 bonus, but the premise is that there is no player option, so Thomas directly chose to trade a one-year low price for free.

In addition, the negotiations between Kumingga and the Warriors have reached the final stage. Kumingga has stated that if the Warriors do not raise their quotation, he will choose to return to the Warriors for one year's qualification contract. Due to the new version of the labor and capital agreement, hard salary caps have become something that all teams are unwilling to touch. Therefore, many teams have not signed ideal contracts this offseason, and even some good teams are now in the free market with no buyers.

Like Westbrook and Brogdon, both performed well last season, but they have not received a contract now. Ai Meiji believes that Westbrook may eventually wait until the start of the regular season before a team will sign him. This offseason does not seem to have a great chance. In addition, Simmons has not been favored by any team in the free market. Although it was previously reported that the Celtics and the Knicks were interested in him, neither team has signed him to this day.

, and according to a reporter from the New York Post, Simmons has attracted the interest of two teams, including the Knicks, but Simmons has released a signal that he is not sure whether he wants to continue playing. This sounds really surprising. After all, Simmons is only 29 years old. Although he has no peak and core position, in terms of his ability and role, he still has a chance to get a basic salary contract. Why not do it if he has the opportunity to make money?

Maybe Simmons feels that he has made enough money. He has made a total of 190 million in his career. As long as he does not spend too much, the money is indeed enough for him to spend his whole life. You should know that Jeff Green, a veteran in 2007, has only made 100 million in his career so far. Simmons' retirement life can be said to be without financial concerns, but it is indeed a pity that he did not meet expectations. After all, he was highly anticipated back then.

As the US media said: He was predicted to be the next James. He had already determined the No. 1 pick in college and averaged 19.2 points, 11.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2 steals per game. His performance can be said to be very comprehensive. His original draft template was Magic Johnson and James. A 2.11-meter player has the speed of defenders, top-notch strength, and excellent passes. He really looks very similar to James.

When he entered the early stages of the league, he trained with James and received a lot of attention. James said humbly: his upper limit is higher than mine. It was originally a humble remark from the senior. I don’t know if Simmons was completely lost in such praise, or because of such excessive praise, he was timid. After entering the league, Simmons did not dare to make mistakes, and he did not use anything he was not good at. Three points became his biggest weakness.

Until now, his three-pointers and free throws are still very bad. Perhaps we can still find a problem with him - he doesn't work hard enough. In every offseason, he will post his training video, and the firepower of the three-pointers is simply unstoppable. Every offseason, he gives people the feeling that he has trained three-pointers, and as a result, he will disappoint every season, which shows that he just pretends to work hard, but in fact he has not tried to improve. And this offseason is indeed very abnormal because Simmons has not posted too many training videos.

Perhaps he is really tired of his basketball career, after all, he is criticized when he comes on the court. Now Simmons likes to fish and his family is very wealthy. In this case, he is not too short of money. What he pursues may be more about what he wants and stay away from those places that make him unhappy. And today, according to famous reporter Stein, agent Bernie Lee informed the players' union that he had officially parted ways with Simmons.

But some people are skeptical about whether Simmons really chose to retire. According to famous reporter Hoops, a scout believes that the rumors about Simmons' retirement may be intentionally released by him and his team: "I don't think any team is really interested in him, at most it's just to explore the situation. So if he really retires, he and his agent can be said to be the active choice, and in fact the decision is in the first round of those teams."

The scout also said: "If Simmons is willing to accept an unsecured training camp contract, he may be able to get a chance, but if I am the general manager of the team, I would rather leave a place for a young man to see if I can get rid of potential stocks." Perhaps this scout is talking about Simmons' real reality, and he may be forced to retire. Having said that, what do you want to say about Simmons? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
