At one point in the clip, Simmons went up to dap Kevin Durant, who seemed happy to have a new teammate on his side. The Nets have been lacking on defense, and Simmons promises to help secure the team's presence in the paint. Of course, it's going to take a while to get involved with the Nets' system, but overall, this is of great benefit to both the Nets and Simmons himself.
It remains to be seen when Simmons will be able to take the floor for the Nets, however, it's clear that he is in good shape right now. With that in mind, stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates from the basketball world.
