Ben Simmons formally demands trade

[fightinfunbags]

Yeah the salary is the tough part. It might work if you swap curry for hield

That’s maybe a swap for the lesser player. I think Curry can do more off the dribble and is a tick better as a shooter. Would rather see DG go. But again, not sure of the rule because he was just resigned.

TNT sideline reporter just said Simmons worked out with the team as recently as this morning

I mean…

What did anyone expect?

His relationship with the franchise is completely broken.

Why on earth would he ever want to work with Philly team doctors about a mental health issue at this point?

Especially when he’s flirting with disaster. He’s clearly crossed a really bad line. He’s in effect making fun of a very real societal issue with a stigma. He’s using it to further his own personal desires.

Sixers sitting at 6-2
Maxey has looked competent at the point
Blazers are a mess
Dame looks beaten and disinterested

It’s all falling into place. Dame comes to Philly around Christmas time.

How can you be sure that is what he doing?

His shooting issues are clearly mental. There is no doubt he has self confidence struggles with that.

It is very possible if not likely that he has some mental health issues going on.

And obviously he does not trust the 76er organization. AND he has clearly stated he has no intention of playing for Philly again. So of course he wouldn’t see the team doctor.

I’ll take that bet

Especially when dames poor play was the reason for the slow start

Come on now…

And that’s what Ben Simmons is banking on. This stuff isn’t showing up in an x Ray. It’s not tender tissue that can be observed. He’s counting on people saying “how dare you question mental health”. It’s a savvy move but be honest. You know it’s made up. Is being a megalomaniac now a mental health crisis? That’s his issue. He’s lived in a tight bubble of people blowing smoke up his ass for years. Now his game gets criticized and he refuses to see it. Is that a mental health issue? To me that’s just an athlete with a warped perspective. It’s not a brain chemistry thing.

What are we betting? Also, I would want some odds if you can find any posted.

On lillard being in Philly by Christmas

Yeah I know. Is it real money? Is it this fugaze cash they give us here? Is it an avatar bet? Do I get commensurate odds as my side is less likely than your side? Etc…

You don’t like him. That is clear.

He is obviously not a mentally tough person. He is obviously someone who struggles with confidence.

You have no idea what is going on his head.

And honestly, it is extremely shitty of you to assume he is making it up.

Is it possible that he is?

Sure. And that would be even shittier on Ben’s part.

But absolutely can’t assume that is what he is doing.

It says he’s seeing someone from the unions services

If he’s faking it, I kinda wonder what they talk about lol

He’s definitely seen blue mountain state.

That’s why he’s staying away from the team doctor lol

And again…

Of COURSE he wouldn’t see a Philly team doctor.

Absolutely zero trust there.

Indeed

Same with the Trent Williams.

And like I said, that’s what Ben Simmons is banking on.

And if you are wrong?

That makes you a huge asshole for saying that.

I’ll take that risk. I’m not wrong. Everything we know about this player and the way it’s played out screams he’s lying. Society is very open to claims of mental health. If that was truly the case that gets out this past summer. The timing is so convenient. You want to go and look up the rules on what may be the only thing that allows a player to get paid during an extended leave of absence no questions asked? Yep…you guessed it. I’m playing the odds on this and I feel pretty confident.
