While there have been plenty of very good cases made for why the Boston Celtics ought to sign him, not everyone thinks that the Celtics should risk signing former Los Angeles Clippers backup big man Ben Simmons. For some, the sins of his past stints with the Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets are unpardonable, for others, his lack of a shot from beyond the arc (or even an attempt at developing one in-game) make him a non-starter for Boston.
There is a case to be made that even the minimum salary is not worth the opportunity cost (and the minutes he would be taking from some of the Celtics’ younger players), with this eternally polarizing player not appealing to a significant subset of Boston fans and analysts.
We can count among them WEEI’s Meghan Ottolini, who recently took some time on “WEEI Afternoons” to talk about why Simmons isn’t the right fit for the Celtics. Check it out below!
