That’s what a champion does. He’s 25. Maybe he learns from this. Coming and taking the heat would be a step in the direction of being that guy.

To be fair. Most 25 year olds care alot about what other people think

It’s just that 99.99% don’t have Ben Simmons talent or celebrity status

How many times do I have to say it?

Do you all know absolutely nothing about mental health?

It might have been a ruse. 100% possible.

Simmons suiting up for the Nets does not in any way prove that it was or wasn’t.
???!!?!?!?!

he goes from sitting out from a year to instantly playing?

dude its fucking obvious- he demanded a trade- used it as a pretense to sit out.

what kind of evidence do you need? a video of him clowning the Sixers? How more obvious can it get?

The doctors seem to think there’s something going on.

I guess the arbitration hearing will reveal a lot

He’s also not playing, just traveling so far

dude I totally agree

the NBA fucked the Sixers by basically making them hire Colangelo and fire Hinkie.

Easily the most damaging thing that has happened to the Sixers. I would have loved to see how Hinkie would have played it out.

I guarantee you they are fucking STACKED if Hinkie is allowed to stay. The problem was- that he took the tank job to an as-yet-unforeseen level and the NBA got their panties in a twist about it- which is fucking dumb.

It wasnt going to be much longer- maybe a season- until Hinkie went into win mode anyway.

such bullshit. Such an underrated "what if" - if the NBA office didnt stick their nose in.

You can give me 30 million a year to have 20,000 people scream at me and at me on social media. Where do I sign up?

if you look hard enough you can get a doctor to say the patient is growing a 3rd arm out of his ass.

It was absolutely a toxic work environment.

Morey and doc In particular made it so much worse than it needed to be
i just dont know if being criticitzed for playing poorly- and your coach and teammates saying that- when its true- constitues a "toxic environment".

toxic? wtf

he got his feelings hurt. hes a cry baby

Of course he is.

Really though? Coming from you?

You couldn’t show your face on here for weeks after your team lost in the playoffs because facing 10 posters wanting to ridicule you was too much.

Ben had thousands of fans say they hated him and wanted him out of Philly.

You honestly think you could handle that smoke?

Green is making 38.6% of his treys.....with Curry gone.....he'll see action with Embiid, Harden, and Harris.

Could up that significantly if he can knock down the open looks.

The James Harden hate is real.

LOL.
Yes and the Kyrie and Simmons hate. They are basically the 3 least likeable high level players right now.

Harris going from a #2 to a #3 is right where he needs to be.
