What a baby

I'm not sure why any team would want him. There are certain players who are so good that you live with their unprofessional antics (Anthony Davis, Harden, Jimmy Butler, etc.). But Simmons is not that guy. If I'm a GM, I'm not even considering trading for a guy who is a tall version of Rajon Rondo.

ESPN Sources: Philadelphia 76ers All-Star Ben Simmons will not report for opening of training camp next week and intends to never play another game for the franchise. Simmons hasn’t spoken to team since a late August meeting when he communicated this message to Sixers officials.

So, can the Sixers stop paying him?

Nope. NBA contracts are fully guaranteed, IIRC

Except he'll be in violation of the contract. There are recourses for the team.

Only guaranteed for performance and injury. If you decide not to play basketball

He's a toolbag. BUT...they were actively shopping him. If I found out my

How can anyone like the guy? He hasn't shown a lick of loyalty or humility.

Send him to New Orleans or Orlando.

9/21/21 9:48am

Not New Orleans please. Send him to OKC

“Like I said in August, I will not make another free throw for this franchise.”

How can the sixers treat 4x rookie of the year like this? Shameful.

Way overpaid just slightly above average player.

It’s a terrible relationship at this point.

It's funny because there is zero chance Portland gives up Lillard for Simmons.

Why not, they are basically the same player. Simmons is taller.

This is a good move by Simmons. It’ll make him highly sought after.
