Ben Simmons formally demands trade

“At this point, I don’t care about that man…” Joel Embiid

 

[The Q]

And yes he is going to force the players union to get involved, but this is not the fight the union wants.

No but you can’t let teams arbitrarily pull this bs either

Haha! How would this classify as “arbitrary”? Like the Sixers don’t know the rules? They were looking for any reason he would give to suspend him and send him away. And clearly he’s provided that. It’s naive to assume the Sixers aren’t watching their Ps and Qs on this.

If the Rockets can't suspend Harden for showing up looking like an Olineman, 76ers will have a hard time justifying doing it because he put in half assed effort.

Like I said. Doc needs to use Drummond for hard fouls and screens and essentially call in the code red.

People noted he had his cell phone in his pocket at practice yesterday and wasn't exactly engaged then either. Sounds like Doc called him on it and kicked his ass out!

After he is traded Simmons will shoot over 90% free throws against the 76ers, and 65% against the rest of the league.

It’s likely that his coach told him to do something in the context of practice and he refused.

See that’s what a man would do. What Ben Simmons will do? Trip to Philly = load management.

This.

“At this point, I don’t care about that man…” Joel Embiid

People said Embiid threw Ben under the bus before. He didn't. Now, he is throwing him under the bus right there. That's wild.

He did

And now he did it again

Perhaps I missed it, but did the Rockets actually try to do that? I think the Sixers are being much more aggressive with how they deal with Simmons, who, again...is not James Harden in terms of his accomplishments and reputation among players.

He did throw him under the bus the first time. The unwritten rules are that even though Simmons shit the bed and publicly emasculated himself you don’t comment like that after the game. You are supposed to shut your mouth and let a pussy be a pussy and deal with it behind closed doors.

According to Shams:
Doc: hop in this defensive drill
Simmons: no
Doc: hop in this defensive drill
Simmons: no
Doc: go home
Simmons: drops the ball and leaves

 

[Iggloo]

What a bitch! He is destroying his career.

What a bitch! He is destroying his career.

But if you look at his goals, he’s not. He doesn’t care about being a winner. He doesn’t care about being a champion. He just wants to get that check. He’s too talented. He’ll always have a check. That’s all he cares about.
