Ben Simmons formally demands trade

[trojanfan12]

It’s the team they’re chasing! And Kyrie doesn’t add much of anything. He can’t even get on the floor.

Meanwhile, Ben's out there busting his ass every ni...

Oh wait...

That would be the exclamation point on the destruction and failure of the Process.

That ship has sailed. The process has essentially failed. Your success is Embiid and being back in the playoffs regularly.

If the Sixers win a title with Embiid...it will be due to decisions/moves made after Simmons is gone.

2) I would prefer the 2 Jenner girls

Tlance is just doing a bit at this point, right?

Ok, realistically, who else are you trading Simmons for?

Nobody anywhere near as good as Kyrie, or even Simmons for that matter.

 

[Iggloo]

Trick question, I am not trading him until he comes back and plays and rehabilitates his value while he runs the second unit backing up rising star Tyrese Maxey.

then youre him max money to half ass it.

good luck with that one.

 

[Iggloo]

Unfortunately, we are paying him and can't easily get out of that. But the only way I would "give" Simmons away is for an expiring contract. I'd actually seriously consider that. We could use the money for Maxey and Thybulle.

You do realize that might not happen, right?

No chance he can drag out this mental thing forever and still get paid. I hope the sixers wait him out

I don’t think he is playing for Philly again. If that means he isn’t getting paid, then he will still sit.

He is getting his game checks fined right now.

I mean .. this shit is so ridiculous it has to be true. Philly legit acts like they have some kind of chip here still.

Then why did he show up and quarter ass it instead of just holding out? Would have helped his cause for certain.

And that will go to arbitration since the union can’t let a team make the determination

He is getting help, that qualifies under the cba

Becuase he gets more of his money quarter assing it

Moreys reprehensible behavior proves it

It won’t forever, everyone with half a brain knows this is a total sham. He is being laughed by a lot of the league and the list of teams that will take him under any circumstances is dwindling.

So Philly still never gets what they want. They still lose

They lost when they drafted him, hopefully the whole league learns something here.

Meh

He's hardly a bust and they were a few plays away from beating Toronto a few years ago. In regards to winning titles that is as much on Joel as Ben.

If anything burning all those picks on Harris was the miss

Yea. Tobias is a nice player but he's not a guy that's going to take over a key playoff matchup.

 

[Iggloo]

There were many misses, mostly by Colangelo, who squandered many of the assets amassed by Hinkie in The Process. But drafting Ben Simmons first overall was certainly a mistake. His work ethic and character were already question marks at the time, after a pretty lackluster tenure at LSU. They should have taken Brandon Ingram at 1. He's not a perfect player by any means, and is less talented overall, but he has far fewer holes. Similarly, they could have had Tatum over Fultz. Those were franchise-crippling bad moves.
