Ben Simmons formally demands trade

[trojanfan12]

This is simple, he said Simmons problem was that he cares too much. I simply said that I would bet that he was the only person ever, including any coach Simmons ever had, that ever said that. That’s it.

Dude, you said he made a claim that a coach said that. It's literally in the post I quoted. It might not be what you meant to say...but it's what you said.

He never said that anyone else said that, he only said that he thinks that Simmons cares too much.

Now you aren’t following. He started saying I made a claim about what a coach actually said. I did not. That is where I made the comment that you are referring to. I only mentioned coaches in saying that they were among the rest of the world, besides Tiance, that have never ever ever said that Simmons cares too much, about anything. I never said that he was saying coaches said or didn’t say anything. This is comical.

lol

You said..."You're the one who made a claim'' and followed it with asking him to provide a quote where a coach said that.

Like I said, it may not be what you meant to say, but it is what you said.

If not letting another man tell me what to do, ever, makes me a badass in your eyes then so be it I guess lol.

I don't know why these types of arguments happen so often here.

Tlance said that Simmons cares too much. You said that no coach in his entire career has ever said that. Tlance inferred, perhaps incorrectly, that you were saying that his coaches were saying he doesn't care.

Maybe just accept that you two were talking past each other a bit?

And when I said you are the one that made the claim, obviously I meant he claimed Simmons cared too much. At that point he was asking me to prove a coach said something when I never said they did. I was simply saying that he was the only one that felt that way and I would bet no coach he ever had wouod back up his claim. Ok hope that settles it, it’s the truth lol.

Well I didn't tell you to do anything. I said that there was no reason to engage in personal attacks and you responded with "Nobody tells me what to do!!!"

If you want to be a dick, go for it.

I agree that you didn't say that his coaches said he didn't care. But you made the equally unsupported claim that no coach has ever said he cared. You have no way of knowing that. Lots of people make unsupported claims here so it's not like that is shocking. But, as I said, you could also just clarify your point and move on.

Nope, I said I would would wager that no coach had ever said he cared TOO MUCH. I already surrendered though. Tiance has always seemed sharp, so much so in fact that I’ve been surprised at his take on Simmons. I’ll chalk this up as a misunderstanding. Sorry everyone for the waste of bandwidth.

I was done with this until you came back 30 minutes later and said I wasn’t too sharp.

Not sure why you felt that necessary when I didn’t reply to your last comment.

But to be honest, your unwillingness to consider any possibility but the narrow lense you view Simmons through doesn’t exactly make you look bright.

I have never pretended to know what Simmons actual mental state is. I am merely offering plausible explanations for his behavior that aren’t “He is totally worthless scum”.

Sorry, when you kept on I felt you were putting words on my mouth, which in my mind you were. I said what I said, it’s all there. As far as Simmons goes I’m confident I am right. Going to be funny when he is all the sudden cured of this giant problem he must have had his whole life. I mean that is the only way he can ever play again, to say hey, I’m healed!!!

It's all good.

 

[The Q]

Tlance clearly was saying he cares too much about what others think of him

And that his defense shows he doesn’t not care at all.

Gangster. I see you lol

I just wish we didn’t have the mental health card being played. Simmons would maybe have a little bit of support if he had just held his ground and not showed up. Personally I think that is what he would have done if he truly had a mental health problem.
