Leave it to a guy like Bill Simmons to talk down a Los Angeles Lakers signing before Marcus Smart can even fully unpacks his bags. The moment the deal went public, Simmons lit the fuse on the The Bill Simmons Podcast.
Simmons said, “He can’t really shoot threes, and is the kind of guy who is a bad fit with a LeBron [James] and Luka [Doncic] team.” Translation? He thinks this move is… well, not smart.
Simmons did not just stop at spacing concerns. In fact he added his thoughts surrounding Smart’s injury concerns over the last couple seasons by saying he doesn't 'think his body can handle a nine-month season anymore.
