A lift that can provide help for JB, better than nothing and as you mentioned a short contact while JT still recovering, hopefully Simmons will provide them some decent numbers, I see good games from him while playing with clippers unlike when he's still with the Nets, might be possible to give him decent minutes, though he's no longer a offensive type of a player but he got the height and if by chance he can also penetrate to make a basket. Will be depend with how the coach will use him I guess.
Yeah, plus he’s available on a minimum contract but there are still a lot of critics about the Celtics signing Simmons, which is normal considering his history and condition. Even Knicks fans are showing no interest. Since he’s available for the minimum contract, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the Celtics giving him a shot for now. Unless he gets hurt again, of course, which would be a waste. There are other teams showing interest in him too, not necessarily for his offense, but more likely for his defense and playmaking. He’s still 6'10" and a good passer. He doesn’t need to score much like others, he just needs to use the players around him effectively.
