Simmons' contract ended at the same time that Jordan's reign in Washington came to a close.
Initially Simmons, who goes about 6'7 and 230 pounds, played a lot more of the small forward position but this year was different; over the summer, he had been doing an incredible amount of work on his ball-handling and shooting.
Now, it's true that Simmons is often on the receiving end of passes that lead to his shots but that is as much a result of the passer as it is him moving without the ball very well.

 Slip Opinion
Simmons was arrested when officers found 30 small bags of cocaine under the driver's seat and a loaded handgun in the center console.
At best, their prior check of outstanding warrants for Simmons was only one factor among many that a reasonable officer would have considered in deciding whether to detain Simmons to investigate further whether he was the subject of the outstanding Brevard County warrant.
Simmons contends, however, that the officers' request for a drug-detecting dog shortly after pulling Simmons over, when combined with the information they possessed concerning allegations of his earlier involvement in the sale of cocaine, transformed the stop into an investigative detention for a drug search.

One bright spot in an otherwise disappointing season was forward Bobby Simmons winning the 2004-05 NBA Most Improved Player award after averaging 16 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists per game.
As a result of that, Simmons cashed in on his newfound fame, and signed a 5-year, $47 million deal with the Bucks in July 2005, playing closer to his hometown of Chicago, Illinois.
To counter Simmons' defection to Milwaukee, the Clippers announced days later that they would sign guard Cuttino Mobley (formerly of Houston, Orlando, and most recently Sacramento) to a contract similar in years (5) but less in money ($42 million) to what Simmons received from the Bucks.

Former Clippers/now Bucks forward Bobby Simmons, most famously smooched by Bill in a “Simmons On Simmons” profile, was arrested yesterday after a woman accused him of fondling a woman in his car outside a club at 2 a.m.
The police report the incident involving Bobby Simmons, whom Bill called “the guy everyone wants to play with” and his “favorite player on the [Clippers],” happened outside The Jungle club Saturday night/Sunday morning, and the woman reported it a few hours later.
In incidents like this, one has to realize that Bobby Simmons has been convicted of nothing, one has to hope the woman — if actually assaulted — is OK and one has to not jump to conclusions.

Bobby really worked hard all summer to raise the level of his game, and I think after the way he played this year he really deserves this award.
The work ethic that he showed last summer after our meeting, talking about different areas of his game to work on, and the way he went about it shows he is an incredible professional, not only from a work ethic standpoint, but he is very cerebral as a player.
Q: Bobby, did this kind of validate you, because I remember back in Chicago being a star at DePaul, you always knew what you had in you but coming in you had a rough time getting out of the starting gates.
