Ben Simmons formally demands trade

[bksballer89]

Care to bet on when he plays since you don't want to bet on the whole 15-20 games you previously said he would?

LOL.

I don't care when he plays. My only point since yesterday was that he wasn't going to have 30 games with the Nets. It would likely be in the 15-20 range because he's not going to play before the AS break

 

[The Q]

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.

I love Danny green.

I’ve wanted him on the Celtics for….13 years lol

 

[msgkings322]

they are the biggest fanboys now lol. The guy forced his way out of 2 teams in less than years in his prime. If that's not a diva then i don't know what is

That's how it works. LeBron on your team, he's the worst. LeBron on my team, I LOVE THAT GUY

 

[msgkings322]

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

It worked very well for Wiggins...

Not because of the "gotcha" you think you have.

Meanwhile he think getting into the game shape is only weight related so unless you are 330 pounds like Zion, you can play tomorrow even though you didn't play competitive basketball in about 9 months

 

[bksballer89]

Go back to talking about food or something in the off topic thread. Real basketball convo isn't meant for you

Haha.

I am playing in a men’s league for the first time since COVID.

First game last weekend.

I am the same weight I was 2 years ago, in decent shape. But I literally felt winded almost as soon as I entered the game. I was unable to do much of anything. And that is a old man’s rec league, nothing like the NBA.

Playing shape is real.

Like I said earlier...Dude picks some strange hills to die on.

I love Danny green.

Me too.

Pre-season is what?

2 weeks? But you're saying he won't play for a month? LOL.

Miracle cure for mental illness found!

Can we officially start referring to Ben Simmons as "BS"?

Yep. A few years back I had stopped playing in my rec leagues and hadn't played any hoops in a few months. Hadn't gained any weight and had been able to do some working out, so I wasn't completely out of shape.

A friend of mine had found a place with some pretty competitive pickup games and got me to go with him...within just a few minutes of the first game, my legs got heavy and I was out of breath...lol

And the crazy thing is I was frustrated with my conditioning so I ran 2 miles the next day. And I hate running.

That was a piece of cake.

But playing ball for 3 minutes and I felt spent.

I know I was. lol

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

I hear ya. I played at the Y for an hour an a half the other night and my arms were sore the whole next day.

Not that much.

But, that was because I felt so tired on the court that I was doing a lot of slow jogging and playing really bad matador defense.

Didn’t do enough to make myself sore. It was like I knew I didn’t have it and was conserving energy.

So let's act like I didn't say March 3rd as an option lol.
