Ben Simmons formally demands trade

[Shanemansj13]

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.

Dame is too loyal to ask for a trade especially with his recent quote, otherwise, I agree with you

Yep. Dame already said he's not asking for a trade this year.

also shooting poorly doesn't always=disinterested

Sometimes people actually just shoot poorly especially with this new ball that the guys are getting adjusted to

There’s words and there’s actions. He is going through the motions.

Simply not true

Simply not true

I agree, I just don’t think he is wired that way.

I watched him the other night. Long stretches of him not wanting the ball, going through the motions on defense. Dude hates his situation.

Do you know what the point of vcash is?

Cause I don’t lol

Definitely not. Also had a long media session following the philly game for 10-15 minutes about how his shooting struggles. You don't do that if you are going through the motions. Think Harden does that last year on Houston?

Ha! no clue. Bragging rights maybe?

True. My bad.

I am hoping he struggles tonight but he will probably go over for 60 against the Cavs lol

He might need 50 shots to get it. Their whole offense is iso ball for McCollum or Dame or dude they got from Raptors whose name escapes me right now. You know what they did to appease Dame's desire to win a title....they picked up Nance and Zeller. Dame needs to tell them to get his ass out of there.

I don't think that Dame is mailing it in. But I also don't think he's fully committed either.

Wanna throw some vcash into my bet with @fightinfunbags? Lol

I haven't watched Portland yet this season, but from what is being said, it sounds like a guy who's kind of "accepted his fate".

He's too loyal to demand a trade, but he also knows the organization isn't ever going to get him what he needs to win a title.

I can see where that would lead someone to have "lapses" in how hard they're willing to play, especially if the game starts turning into a blowout.

If this has already been mentioned my bad. Saw yesterday that Simmons is refusing the organizations mental health help.

This is a really bad look for him. Just when I thought this situation couldn't get more dysfunctional this happens.

If he's outright lying about his mental health state to avoid playing for the 76ers he's even more fucked up than I thought.

He’s using NBPA resources, not the sixers resources

My bad there, thanks for the correction. He shouldn't be turning down any help since he claimed his mental health's messed up. Where things stand right now I'm not sure if what he's claimed is true or if it's just a bogus excuse because he doesn't wanna play for Philly anymore. I would think if his mental health was really a factor he would have already mentioned it.

One things for sure. The league has to do something about these over paid players holding franchises hostage by refusing not to play. Harden pulled this same shit to get outta Houston.
