Yea

He probably threatened her job for not wanting to see him anymore.

Probably shouldn’t make too many assumptions here.

He wouldn’t need to make that threat to make the woman feel harassed.

If she ended it and he kept pressing after repeated denials, that is more than enough for a workplace romance to become harassment.

BS outright quit on the 76ers. That can't be denied. Sorry but I think he got to the point where he was willing to say anything to get outta Philly.

They quit on each other if we are truly being honest about what happened.

But the fact that he didn’t play for Brooklyn either later year, certainly makes Ben’s mental health story more believable.

Regardless my entire point is that it was clear it was more than just simple consensual sex

More believable? Not sure about. Seems that his back issues were never a problem for him until he wanted outta Philly.

** = But who quit on who first? Pretty sure it was BS that said he would never play for the 76ers again. That kinda put the organization in a tough spot. His refusal to play makes him look very selfish.

And he quit on the 76ers well before he mentioned anything about mental health issues. Odd he didn't have any issues until he decided he had a problem with Philly.

I wonder what will happen when he gets back on the court. If the local sports media says anything critical about him will he throw another temper tantrum and refuse play?

I think Pelinka is saving cap space for next star after James.....and think he wants to land Irving when the Nets fail next summer.

It's just such a difficult way to build a roster though. It's one thing when you can go above cap with home grown guys like the Warriors have its another to have to sign a star under the cap and somehow fill a roster out.

It's my opinion it's not going to work

Cowherd is saying that it was an actual affair with one and unwanted advances to another.
Udoka is a dog, man.

I always wonder about middle-aged men who get themselves into these types of predicaments.

Keep in mind, I'm not talking younger men. They're just thinking with their d!ck... whatever, it's comprehendible.

But a middle-aged dude? A guy who already has a pretty fine woman... who is having a full-blown affair with another... and is still getting more strange on the side?

Honestly, that would be too much female nonsense in my life. That's phone calls, text messages, dates.... hassle. I wouldn't even enjoy it... not enough good to outweigh all the bad.

Yeah, that’s a lot of juggling, managing.

And there we have it

If it was just a consensual non reporting relationship and he got fired because it was a VP's wife he'd have grounds for a pretty reasonable lawsuit. Prob not the case. Although if true that is certainly an aggravating factor.
