The Sporting News is out with its annual "Big Country Reeves Memorial Overpaid List", named for the player Vancouver (now Memphis) agreed to pay $65 million a few years back. Sean Deveney writes that Simmons has never fulfilled the promise of his five-year, $47 million deal and last season "looked like a shadow of his former self," ranking him sixth on the list. Three former Nets made the top 10.
