Bobby Simmons could be traded? Bought out?

Newsflash, one of Larry Harris' heinous long term contracts, this time Bobby Simmons is set to expire. Simmons had a good season for the Clippers before signing his huge deal with the Bucks. I liked the signing from a player perspective, Simmons was a solid role player who could easily average about 16 and 6, which he did for the Clippers. However, that production is not worth 10-12 million annually, and for 4 years no less. It is hard to believe that was only 4 years ago. Not only did he make too much coin, but basically forced Harris to trade Desmond Mason, who actually liked it in Milwaukee. Harris basically was under the opinion that Simmons and other NBA Free Agents would not come to Milwaukee unless vastly overpaid, a sentiment that is probably more true than false. Simmons' injuries during his time in Milwaukee were numerous, and overall he was a huge disappointment. Harris' brutal infatuation with Free Agency and resigning average players to all-star contracts; see Mo Williams, Dan Gadzuric, Charlie Bell, and Bobby Simmons, in addition to signing all-stat players to superstar contracts, Michael Redd, really handcuffed this team. John Hammond may not be stellar at player evaluation, but understands the importance of salary cap flexibility, which is ever so critical as a small-market team.
