Valid but just take him out and actually have another big to play
How about you keep him and get competent backup bigs this time?
and claxton has an offseason to get better as a FT shooter

“OKC is slated to pay Kemba Walker just over $27 million in 2022-23, which is just a smidge less than the $29,750,000 they'll shell out to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Walker has never (and likely will never) suit up for the Thunder after they bought his contract out last summer.
Walker's deal remains on the books, though, in the form of "dead money," a terminology for one of the more uncommon scenarios in NBA roster management. “
“DeAndre Jordan ($7.8 million) — The Pistons are actually paying Jordan for the money remaining on a four-year, $39.6 million contract he signed with the Brooklyn Nets back in 2019. Brooklyn traded Jordan to Detroit in a minor move last September, and the Pistons bromptly bought him out. Jordan then signed a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, so he actually earned money from two teams in 2021-22. This is his last year receiving cash from Detroit.
Dewayne Dedmon ($2.9 million) — This is one of my favorite crazy scenarios, and I want to break it down. Let's travel back to 2019, when Dedmon signed a three-year, $40 million contract with the Sacramento Kings. Things didn't work out, so the Kings traded him that season to the Atlanta Hawks, who then moved him again to Detroit in the 2020 offseason.”
“Andrew Nicholson ($2.8 million) — Nicholson is my dead money GOAT. In 2016, he signed a four-year, $26 million contract with the Washington Wizards, played 28 games with the team and was then traded to the Nets, where he appeared in 10 contests in the same 2016-17 season. Brooklyn then sent him to Portland in a swap for Allen Crabbe in the offseason; Portland released Nicholson just over a month later.
……..
“Since 2017-18, he has received just over $2.8 million each season — and will continue to get that bag until the 2024 offseason — without ever playing for Portland. That's how it's done.”

How would they work together?
By having the players I already mentioned around them
Simmons, Kyrie, Seth, KD and Claxton together on the floor?
I mean Joe Harris exists but that’s for Nash to figure out
acting like claxton is unplayable because Simmons is there is ridiculous

You niggas is EXCOMMUNICADO!!!
His stats are decent and shooting percentage from 3 is really good but every time I watch him. He doesn't do shit

Would be a great suggestion if we had a real coach.
I don’t love the idea of letting Clax go especially for nothing. And he can use the off season to work on becoming a better FT shooter but Clax probably gonna want more money also so we’ll see how this goes.
Marks usually finds gems so I’ll be cautiously optimistic but right now I don’t trust this front office much right now so who knows...
Okay fine. So Kyrie, Harris, KD, Simmons and Claxton. So we’re essentially playing 3 on 5 on offense.

Yeah man Ben Simmons is Tony Allen out there averaging 16 points for his career…
For one, mid range and perimeter shooting isn’t the only part of offense…
two, scoring isn’t the only part of offense
three, stop acting like Simmons does NOTHING offensively

Just read that the Nets do expect to bring back Clax probably on a one year deal for now. Taking these reports with a grain of salt since these media types have been tryin to manifest Kyrie to LA
He cannot shoot literally every shot Ben takes is around the basket. Same for Claxton. You know how easy it would be to defend against that?

Are we talking in circles here? lol

Fine let me ask you this question. If we trot that lineup out there how would you defend that? Go.
Idk I never seen Ben Simmons on the nets before
