Long live Ben simmons

Getting all up in that Philly ass one last time.

Hope we find out how much he actually got back. Either way, the Sixers saved money and got back a solid player this time last year no one said they could land for Ben Simmons. Think about the rumors last year. Buddy Hield…Malcolm Brogdan…haha! The Sixers already won this one.

 

[fightinfunbags]

The “unnamed source” is likely from the Sixers, Heat, Raptors, Celtics or Suns who are looking for the Nets to come down on their ask. It’s pretty damn transparent.

 

[tlance]

Not sure about way down as still, what, 4 years left on the deal? could always trade him later. doubt they'd call his bluff for 4 seasons.

The second they call his bluff and find out he isn’t bluffing, his trade value gets cut in half.

Because everyone in the league will know that KD is willing to hang ‘em up if he isn’t happy. And only the teams on his short list would be willing to deal for him.

The longer he sits, the older he gets.

And I just saw KD’s tweet.

LOL.

you are correct though that his value is only going down from here.

Did people actually believe that shit?

This is like the " If anyone will walk away from 30 mil it's Kyrie " nonsense on crack.

I believe KD and Kyrie are capable of a lot of crazy.

Anything is possible there.

Kyrie wouldn't leave 30 on the table and he's slightly insane.

Kevin leaving 196 would be certifiable.

Holding out is one thing.

Retiring?

When it comes down to it, even a head case like Kyrie has a price.

Durant is gonna Jimmy Butler his way out of town....to play with Jimmy Butler...

 

[Mecca]

Tough.

Could Bridges do more if he was more of a focal point?

Can Wiggins duplicate his season?

I'm taking OG first because of his stats vs contract.

As much as I admire what Wiggins has accomplished, he makes twice what OG does for basically the same stats.

They are all 25-27 years old.

So, I'm gonna go....

1. O.G.

2. Bridges

3. Wiggins

Now that I can see.

Make it such a hostile work place that the thought of reconciliation is totally off the table.

He's not retiring.

I doubt any teams actually bought that bullshit.

FFS.....As big of a malcontent as he is, even Durant came out and said that was a bridge to far.

 

[Lebron>Jordan]

1. Wiggins
2. O.G.
3. Bridges

thank you for letting me know who they actually are....

Just the fact that folks don't immediately laugh and dismiss either one says a lot about them.

I can't wait for it.

That butler practice story was EPIC.

The Warriors should be sending Jimmy Butler a ring just for that practice, calling out wiggins for being the biggest pussy on the floor had to help get him past it.

Like the Laker fans who said Derozen would turn down 20m to sign with the Lakers?

Same energy.
