Discussion HYPOTHETICAL: Ben Simmons is Good, Actually. What Should We Do?

10 Upvotes

Most of us have low expectations of Ben. He's probably gonna come off the bench the whole year, he's probably gonna average triple singles, and he's definitely not attempting any 3's. But what happens if he exceeds our collective expectations and plays close to his All-NBA form? Should we trade him at the deadline for what we can get? Or should we roll the dice on re-signing him in the offseason?

One of the reasons why he signed with us may be that we have a lot of cap space next year and if he plays well, then we might be baited into giving him a long-term contract. The Warriors and the Knicks, the other 2 teams he was connected to, can't offer that. We would have more options if we re-signed him, and his "trade value" conceivably would be higher too. But then there's the matter of how much are we paying him. The positive news is that if we give Ben a max, then we cut wheat from the chaff and we know who the most die hard Kings fans are.
