I was mad when I first read that, but when I actually think about it, he's probably not wrong.

Phoenix, Golden State, Memphis, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Miami, Boston... Of those seven teams, I'd say Memphis and Miami are the only teams I would give the Mavs good odds against. That's why it sucks so much we missed out on that 3rd seed. Oh well.

But Simmons is right, Luka is the best player left in the West.
