I have been following Simmons since his trade to the Nets. This man is making $33,000,000 a year and he was not even dressed and on the bench in the final game of the Celtics sweep of the Nets. He has a problem, but it is not as much a back issue than a head issue. Put him in the same category as AB...and possibly Deebo Samuels. These guys make tons of money and then act like middle schoolers.
